Amorim’s Mount injury update

Amorim’s Mount injury update

Mason Mount is set to miss Manchester United’s festive programme due to the injury he recently sustained.

The midfielder has had wretched luck and was visibly upset when being forced to leave the field during the first half of the Manchester derby victory last weekend.

Head coach Ruben Amorim admitted before the Carabao Cup exit at Tottenham that Mount, who has shown real promise in adapting to the boss’s system, was “very sad” in the dressing room at the Etihad Stadium, fearing another lay-off.

Ahead of Sunday’s Premier League game against Bournemouth, Amorim was asked about Mount’s injury.

“Several weeks,” he replied. “I don’t know the exact date, but it’s going to be for long. And that’s it, it’s part of football and you continue.”

Mount’s character has been praised by the boss and fans have been expressing their sympathy following this unfortunate setback.

When asked whether the situation with injuries, in general, is a concern and something he will need to look into further, Ruben said: “No it’s not. That is not my department.

“What I can do is to help Mase, to teach him how to play our game when he’s recovering. To try to use that time for him to think about different things. I think the worst part is that we don’t have time to train like we should do, when you are recovering from a lot of injuries. 

“With Mason Mount, we are going to help him. It is really hard for a player to be out for so long and is trying really hard, the same for me. If they try really hard, we will help them until the end.”
