Manchester United forward Amad Diallo may be ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering ankle ligament damage, YEPS News has gathered. Reports on Saturday suggest the 22-year-old sustained the injury during training, though the club has yet to confirm the full extent as Diallo undergoes further tests.
The Ivory Coast international has been a bright spark in an otherwise challenging season for United, delivering standout performances and scoring crucial goals against Manchester City and Liverpool. His impressive form—six goals in his last 14 appearances across all competitions—has made him a key asset for manager Ruben Amorim.
United’s Growing Injury Crisis
Diallo’s injury compounds an already dire situation at Old Trafford. Ahead of Sunday’s clash with Tottenham, Amorim hinted at widespread injury and illness concerns within the squad. Subsequent reports indicate that midfielders Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, and Toby Collyer have also picked up injuries.
Adding to United’s woes, Lisandro Martinez has already been ruled out for the season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury, while Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans, Mason Mount, and goalkeeper Altay Bayindir remain sidelined.
With the squad stretched thin, United has turned to its academy, promoting 17-year-old Chido Obi and other youth prospects to first-team training to help cover the gaps.
Premier League Struggles
As they prepare to face Tottenham, United sit 13th in the Premier League standings, with Spurs trailing just two points behind. The mounting injury crisis only adds to the club’s turbulent campaign, raising concerns over their ability to recover momentum in the final stretch of the season.
