CurrentReport Blog Manchester United’s captain, Bruno Fernandes, has sparked injury concerns ahead of the club’s crucial midweek Premier League showdown against Arsenal.
Fernandes was instrumental in United’s commanding 4-0 victory over Everton on Sunday, providing two assists as Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee each netted a brace to secure manager Ruben Amorim’s first league win. The result lifted the Red Devils to ninth place in the Premier League table, offering a much-needed boost to their campaign.
However, the Portuguese midfielder raised alarm bells after limping off late in the game. He was substituted for Alejandro Garnacho, leaving the pitch with an ice pack strapped to his ankle. Fernandes appeared visibly frustrated while on the bench, raising doubts about his availability for Wednesday’s clash at the Emirates Stadium.
Since joining Manchester United from Sporting CP in January 2020, Fernandes has been remarkably durable, missing only one game due to injury. If ruled out, his absence would deal a significant blow to United’s hopes against an in-form Arsenal side.
United fans and management will anxiously await updates on Fernandes’ fitness, as his creativity and leadership have been pivotal to the team’s performances this season.
