Due to an injury he suffered while playing for his country, Facundo Pellistri may be sidelined for Manchester United’s match against Everton on Sunday.

The Uruguayan made two starts for his nation during the intermission as Marcelo Bielsa’s team defeated Bolivia and Argentina back-to-back.

Pellistri outperformed Bielsa with his high-energy performances, contributing two assists in the victory over Argentina.

Even if Erik ten Hag hasn’t quite established the 21-year-old as an Old Trafford regular starter, he is getting more and more playing time.

With Jadon Sancho out of the picture and Antony having difficulties, the right-wing position is open.

However, Pellistri is not expected to be well enough to play Everton after suffering an injury while playing for his country, according to the Manchester Evening News.

It’s another omission from United’s expanding injury list; they might be without up to nine starters from their starting lineup for the trip to Goodison Park.

Due to a back ailment, Andre Onana is doubtful, and Tyrell Malacia, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, and Amad Diallo are also long-term absences.

With a hamstring strain, Rasmus Hojlund is anticipated to miss time, and Christian Eriksen is sidelined for a month. Jonny Evans is not available either.
