From bad to worse for Man Utd as third player suffers injury scare on international duty

Manchester United finds itself in an increasingly precarious position after a third player suffered an injury scare on international duty. Noussair Mazraoui, the Moroccan-born full-back, was spotted clutching his lower back and writhing in pain after colliding with a teammate in Morocco's game against Lesotho. He was substituted in the 68th minute, adding to the club's growing injury concerns.

Patrick Dorgu, United's sole alternative when Luke Shaw is unavailable, appeared to suffer a non-contact injury during a match on Sunday. The player was subsequently removed from the Denmark squad to receive treatment, leaving fans anxious about his condition.

Portugal manager Jorge Jesus had previously noted that Bruno Fernandes had arrived for duty with a knock, explaining his absence from Portugal's victory over Norway. Fernandes has since returned to training and is set to play against Manchester City and Fulham. Although he has resumed training, United remains cautious about his participation, monitoring his workload and the minutes he plays.

A brighter note emerged on Tuesday when Amad Diallo, who had been sidelined, is expected to return for United's upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur on October 10. The 24-year-old has yet to play this season, and his potential return would provide much-needed relief and excitement for supporters.
