Man United facing being without key player for Europa League final after injury occurs against West Ham

Major Man United blow as key player limps off ahead of Europa League final

Leny Yoro has emerged as a serious doubt for the Europa League final after limping off the field during Manchester United's Premier League clash with West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.

The Frenchman was forced off in the early stages of the second half against West Ham, and he looked downbeat when he headed down the tunnel, suggesting that he is fearful of missing the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur.

Yoro has been outstanding during his first campaign at Old Trafford, proving to be particularly crucial of late due to Man United's injury issues, but he has spent time out with two separate problems.

The 19-year-old was absent in the early months of the season due to a metatarsal injury, but the extent of his latest issue is unclear at this stage of proceedings, with head coach Ruben Amorim set to be questioned after the match.

Man United are also currently missing fellow centre-backs Matthijs de Ligt and Ayden Heaven due to injuries, although the pair are likely to be back on the field in time for the Europa League final on May 21 in Bilbao.

Luke Shaw was also replaced in the early stages of the second period against West Ham, but it is believed to have been a planned change, with the Englishman's minutes being managed due to his fitness issues.
