Manchester United Faces Injury Crisis as 13 Players Miss International Duty

Manchester United is grappling with a significant injury crisis as 13 players have been left out of their respective international squads due to various injuries, with Alejandro Garnacho among those affected. The young winger has withdrawn from the Argentina squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela and Bolivia after experiencing discomfort in his knee, leading to his decision to remain at the club's Carrington training ground.

In addition to Garnacho, the situation has worsened for United with several other key players also sidelined. Full-back Noussair Mazraoui has withdrawn from the Moroccan squad, while midfielder Kobbie Mainoo will miss England's Nations League matches. Harry Maguire, who was excluded from the England squad, is also dealing with an injury sustained during the recent match against Aston Villa, where he was seen leaving the stadium in a protective boot.

Other notable absentees include Luke Shaw and Mason Mount, who are both working on their recovery, as well as long-term injuries to Leny Yoro and Tyrell Malacia. Additionally, veterans like Jonny Evans will not join the Northern Ireland squad after announcing his retirement from international football. With the international break approaching, several players, including Marcus Rashford, Casemiro, and Antony, will remain at Carrington to continue their rehabilitation and training as United prepares for the challenges ahead.
