"Manchester United are still evaluating the full extent of the injury captain Bruno Fernandes sustained during the 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa. Manager Ruben Amorim thinks the midfielder is set for a spell on the sidelines - but will be hoping the damage is not too bad. Fernandes pulled up at the end of the first half and felt his hamstring, before continuing and coming off at the break."
"From his debut in a goalless draw against Wolves to the Villa defeat, United have played 221 Premier League games - and Fernandes has featured in 212, including 208 starts. Man Utd face up to 'massive' loss of injured Fernandes Of the nine matches Fernandes has missed, two were because he was rested ahead of key European matches, including last season's defeat at Brentford in May. Four were because of suspension - so just three have been a result of injury or illness."
Bruno Fernandes suffered a hamstring issue late in the first half of the 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa, continued briefly, and was substituted at half-time. Ruben Amorim expects Fernandes to face a spell on the sidelines but hopes the injury is not severe. Since joining from Sporting in January 2020 Fernandes has featured in 212 of 221 Premier League matches, making 208 starts, and has only three absences due to injury or illness. United have lost four league games Fernandes missed and five of the past six. Upcoming fixtures include Newcastle, Wolves, Leeds, Burnley, Brighton (FA Cup), Manchester City and Arsenal.
