Manchester United to assess Dorgu after hamstring injury

Manchester United will assess Patrick Dorgu after the Denmark defender left the team’s Nations League match against Wales with a suspected hamstring injury, prompting his return to the club for further evaluation. The injury’s severity and his recovery timeline are not yet known. Dorgu went down without an apparent challenge and clutched the back of his leg during the first half in Copenhagen on Sunday, September 27. He was substituted before the half-hour mark as Denmark went on to win 2-0. Match footage and reports described the injury as non-contact, though the precise diagnosis has not been confirmed. Denmark coach Brian Riemer said after the match that Dorgu had an injury, would return home and would be replaced in the squad. Manchester United confirmed he would return to the club for further assessment. A scan is needed to establish the extent of the problem, and no confirmed return date has been announced. The injury puts Dorgu’s availability for Manchester United’s next match, against Tottenham on October 10, in doubt. His status for that fixture will depend on the assessment.
