Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes is dealing with a hip problem that has hampered him for approximately three matches, according to Portugal manager Jorge Jesus. The condition is described as "worrying" by Jesus, who has acknowledged that the issue is preventing Fernandes from training ahead of an upcoming Nations League match against Norway.
The Portuguese medical staff are expected to determine whether Fernandes can feature in the game, creating concerns over his availability for Manchester United's hectic October schedule. United are set to face Tottenham on October 10th, Atletico Madrid on October 13th, and Leeds United on October 18th. This tight schedule makes any lingering injury particularly problematic, as Fernandes is a key creative force for the team.
Losing him now would be a significant blow, particularly at a time when consistency is desperately needed. The medical staff's assessment of the severity of the hip issue will determine whether Fernandes can make a return to club duty, though there is currently no specific recovery time provided.
