Man United’s Amad Diallo could miss rest of season with ankle ligament injury – sources.
Amad Diallo has suffered an ankle ligament injury in training with Manchester United and could miss the rest of the season, sources told ESPN.
Amad, 22, United’s six-goal Premier League leading scorer, has been ruled out of Ruben Amorim’s squad for Sunday’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur and faces a scan to assess the full extent of the damage.
Reports have said that the Ivory Coast international will be sidelined for the remainder of this season, but sources said that it is still too early to say definitively that Amad will not play again in this campaign.
But the best-case scenario at this stage is that Amad will be out, according to sources, for a number of weeks, which will be a huge blow to the team’s hopes of qualifying for European football next season by winning either the FA Cup or Europa League.
In a post on social media, Amad said: “Extremely disappointed to be writing this message in such a crucial time of the season. Unfortunately, I will be out for some time with an injury.
“I will come back stronger than ever!! Time to support the boys from the outside. Still loads to play for.”
United added their own statement on Sunday that read: “We can confirm that Amad has sustained an ankle injury in training that is expected to keep him out for a number of weeks.
