Manchester United forward Amad Diallo is set to undergo surgery in the coming days after sustaining ligament damage in his left ankle during a training session.
The Ivorian international suffered a severe twist to his ankle, which medical assessments confirmed would require surgical intervention to ensure a full recovery.
Manchester United have acknowledged the injury setback, stating that the procedure will take place imminently, although they have yet to confirm a specific timeline for his return.
Typically, injuries of this nature necessitate an extended rehabilitation period, potentially sidelining the player for several weeks or months.
The injury presents a significant setback for Diallo, who had only recently made his return to action following a prolonged absence due to a previous fitness issue.
Having battled his way back into contention, the 21-year-old will now be forced to undergo another spell on the sidelines as he works towards regaining match fitness.
Manchester United’s medical team will oversee Diallo’s recovery, aiming to ensure a structured rehabilitation process.
The club remains hopeful that the young winger can make a strong comeback once he has fully regained fitness.
However, much will depend on how well his recovery progresses following surgery.
Diallo, who joined United from Atalanta in 2021, has shown glimpses of his talent when given opportunities, particularly during his loan spell at Sunderland, where he impressed with his attacking ability.
His latest injury will undoubtedly be a frustrating hurdle, but the club and its supporters will be eager to see him return stronger in the near future.
