Manchester United have confirmed that defender Lenny Yoro has successfully undergone surgery to address a foot injury sustained during pre-season. The 18-year-old, who was one of the summer’s key signings, is expected to be out of action until October. Yoro’s injury occurred during United’s pre-season match against Arsenal in Los Angeles, and while the surgery went well, his recovery will require several months of rehabilitation.

As a result, Yoro is set to miss approximately nine Premier League games, including high-profile matches against Liverpool, Tottenham, and Aston Villa. In addition, he will not be available for the opening fixtures of United’s Europa League and Carabao Cup campaigns. The club has issued a statement noting, “Yoro’s rehabilitation starts now, and we look forward to the 18-year-old returning to full fitness in about three months.” This period will be critical for Yoro as he works towards regaining his form and contributing to the team’s efforts later in the season.
