"Bruno Fernandes is set to miss several upcoming matches for Manchester United after sustaining a soft tissue injury in Sunday's 2-1 Premier League defeat at Aston Villa. The United captain was forced off at half-time following a challenge from Aston Villa midfielder Amadou Onana. The injury is a rare setback for the 31-year-old, who has missed only three matches through injury or illness since joining the club in 2020."
""I think it's a soft tissue," Amorim said. "I think he's going to lose some games. I don't know for sure, so let's see. "He's a guy that is always fit, so he can recover quite well. But I don't know." Amorim also expects Kobbie Mainoo to miss the Boxing Day home fixture against Newcastle. The midfielder was absent at Villa Park with a calf injury and would have been a like-for-like replacement for Fernandes."
"Casemiro will return against Newcastle after serving a one-match suspension, but United could still be without up to seven players due to injury and international duty. "I will see what we are going to do," Amorim said. "I think Kobbie Mainoo is out, Bruno is out. "So we will see and we are going to find solutions. No excuses. "We need to win the next game. We will try to win the next one.""
