US EditionMan United Captain Bruno Fernandes Set to Miss Games After Injury Against Villa
Captain Bruno Fernandes missed the second half due to a hamstring injury, ending his run of playing every match this season, with Lisandro Martinez stepping in at Villa Park.
- On Sunday, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was substituted at halftime with an apparent hamstring problem at Villa Park after he pulled up late in the first half and walked uncomfortably to the bench.
- After Fernandes pulled up late in the first half, Amorim made a halftime change and said Kobbie Mainoo's absence was poor timing as he would have been the obvious replacement.
- At the start of the second half Martínez moved into a midfield role alongside Manuel Ugarte, having previously played defensively 22 times for Ajax but not yet for Manchester United.
- With the match level, Manchester United had to reshuffle without their captain as Bruno Fernandes did not rejoin the team for the second half with the score 1-1, while Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui remain absent for Africa Cup of Nations.
- Fernandes' availability record amplifies concern about the hamstring issue as he has featured in all Manchester United matches this season and played 308 competitive games since Feb. 1, 2020.
