In the run-up to the October international break, Manchester United suffered a series of injuries. 20-year-old Argentina stars Alejandro · Garnacho have withdrawn from the Argentina squad due to knee injuries. He was originally named in the squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela and Bolivia, but after feeling knee discomfort, he will remain at Carrington, and Argentina has called up Leicester City's Facundo · Bonanot as a replacement.
Garnacho played the full Premier League game in Manchester United's 0-0 draw with Aston Villa, but Argentina's Tyc Sports reported that he was suffering from a knee problem and the Manchester United medical team advised him not to risk his participation. Therefore, Garnacho, who has made seven appearances for Argentina, gave up the away games against Venezuela and at home against Bolivia.
The Manchester Evening News of United Kingdom believes that despite withdrawing from Argentina, Garnacho's injury should not be serious enough to continue playing for Manchester United after the international break. The Red Devils will return to Premier League action in the middle of this month to host Brentford on 19 October.
Garnacho has scored three goals and provided three assists for United this season, often rotating between right and left wingers. He has also recently been supported by an unexpected person, Cristiano Ronaldo's eldest son, Mini Ronaldo. Georgina · Rodriguez shared a photo showing 14-year-old Mini Ronaldo doing his homework at a desk in Manchester United's blue away shirt, with Garnacho and the number 17 printed on the back of the shirt.
Mini Ronaldo used to play in Manchester United's youth system, but which team he played for depended on his father's transfer, so he now belongs to Riyadh Victory. It is quite normal for Ronaldo's son to wear Garnacho's Manchester United shirt, as the Argentina international is known as the "new Ronaldo" and is a die-hard fan of the Portugal superstar. Even after Ronaldo's falling out with Manchester United and Ten Hag, Garnacho still celebrated the goal with the icon's signature model, and he also liked Ronaldo's social media posts criticizing Ten Hag.
In addition to Garnacho, Manchester United right-back Mazraoui and centre-back Harry Maguire both went off injured at half-time against Villa. Mazraoui's injury has been confirmed and he has also withdrawn from the Morocco competition. As for Harry Maguire, he has already put on protective boots after the game, but the £80 million defender does not need to quit the national team because England manager Lee · Carsley did not choose him in the first place.
Manchester United midfielder Kobe · Menou announced his voluntary withdrawal from England's Nations League match against Greece and Finland, having suffered a hamstring strain against Tottenham Hotspur and was not involved in the Europa League against Porto due to injury, but he made a successful comeback against Villa and played 85 minutes.
Mayno's retirement is not necessarily a recurrence of an old injury, but may be a protective measure, as the 19-year-old midfielder's talent has suffered a serious injury and has not yet reached physical maturity.
According to the English media, Ten Hag hopes England internationals Luke · Shaw and Mason · Mason can return after the international break. Long-term injuries Lenny · Yoro and Terrell · Malacia will also continue to recover during this time. Casemiro, Antony and Marcus Rashford have been selected for their respective national teams and will remain in Manchester to continue training with players such as Evans, who announced his retirement from international competition.
With five of the next seven games at Old Trafford, including back-to-back Premier League and Carabao Cup games against promoted Malicester City, Ten Hag will have a good chance to improve their results.
