According to a new report from the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United have suffered from personnel uncertainty as they prepare for the upcoming Community Shield match on August 10th at 22:00 GMT. United will travel to Wembley Stadium to face city rivals Manchester City in the highly anticipated clash. However, three of the team's key players - Maguire, Lindelof and Wan Bissaka - were unable to take part in Wednesday's training session at a crucial time ahead of the match, sparking widespread speculation and concern over their availability for the Community Shield match.
Wan-Bissaka and Lindelof both started against Liverpool in the final friendly of United's US tour, but were subsequently substituted in the game. Despite their contributions in that game, their subsequent absence from training could mean that they are suffering from some sort of fitness issue or injury. The absence of Maguire and Lindelof is even more worrying as they are important members of United's backline and their health is directly related to the team's overall defensive capabilities.
Only two players, Lisandro Martinez and Evans, featured in United's center-back position at the training ground on Wednesday, further confirming speculation that Maguire and Lindelof could be absent due to injury. The absence of these three players will undoubtedly be a huge blow for United as they will need to find replacements at short notice to fill the void and ensure that the team can remain competitive enough for the Community Shield match.
