A sudden injury in the pre-season friendly match between Manchester United and Arsenal has cast a shadow over the club. According to several reputable journalists, United's newest defender, Jolo, suffered an unfortunate injury during the match and could face a long absence.
Jolo, the 18-year-old French center back, was forced to leave the field early in the first half of the game due to an injury he could not sustain. After the match, he was photographed on crutches, his right foot wearing a protective boot, a scene that undoubtedly made the United fans and the club up and down the heart.
According to reports from Samuel Luckhurst, Manchester United's follow up reporter for the Manchester Evening News, Chris Wheeler, a reporter for the Daily Mail, and Rob Dawson, an ESPN reporter, among others, the Manchester United club's medical team is conducting an urgent assessment of Yorro's injury. Initial diagnosis suggests that Yolo may have suffered a serious injury in the form of a fractured metatarsal, an injury that usually requires a long period of recovery and recuperation.
If the final diagnosis is a metatarsal fracture, then Jolo will have to face an absence of at least two months. This is a heavy blow to Jolo, who has just joined United and is eager to show his strength in the Premier League. At the same time, for Manchester United, losing such a potential star is also a big loss, especially at the critical moment when the new season is about to start.
The Manchester United club has already stated that it will fully support Jolo's treatment and rehabilitation and hopes that he will be able to recover his health and return to the field of play as soon as possible. At the same time, the club will also keep a close eye on the transfer market to find a suitable replacement for Jolo's possible long-term absence.
