POST MATCH REPORT Manchester United vs Arsenal
Ramus Hojlund and Leny Yoro were both forced off during Manchester United’s pre-season friendly against Arsenal in Los Angeles; Hojlund indicated he had a hamstring issue; Yoro limped off after lengthy treatment; Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus cancelled out Hojlund’s opener.
Within 48 hours, Manchester United should know the extent of the injuries to Rasmus Hojlund and Leny Yoro after the pair both had to be substituted in the first half of the 2-1 pre-season defeat to Arsenal in Los Angeles.
Hojlund had given United a 10th-minute lead when he latched onto Marcus Rashford’s pass to power a shot through Arsenal goalkeeper Karl Hein.
The Denmark striker also turned an Aaron Wan-Bissaka cross wide from close range but then suffered a muscle injury after just 15 minutes, forcing his withdrawal.
The 18-year-old defender Yoro, who only joined United from Lille for £52m earlier this month, went down and needed lengthy treatment, before he too called it a day.
“We have to wait 24 hours and then we will hopefully know more,” Ten Hag told MUTV.
“We were very careful, especially with Leny. It is disappointing he had to come off but let’s be positive and see what comes out.”
Speaking to the press afterwards, defender Jonny Evans reflected on the concerns over Hojlund and Yoro, saying: “Obviously, you don’t want any injuries, especially in pre-season.
“You know one of the biggest things you’re trying to avoid while also getting fit at the same time. Injuries are hopefully not too bad, but we’ll see, probably see tomorrow, I’m sure.
“Muscle injuries aren’t great either. But. I actually don’t know Rasmus. I think he sort of hinted at his hamstring. I’m not sure about it.”
