Manchester United player now heading off on international duty but one player has pulled out of representing his country.
Here we go again, another international break is here.
This is the second break of the season just two months into the new Premier League campaign.
Manchester United head into the break off the back of a 0-0 draw at Aston Villa.
That result does little to ease the pressure on Erik ten Hag but at least it wasn’t a 3-0 home defeat like United’s final game before the last international break.
Players will now join up with their countries but a new injury problem has emerged for United.
Alejandro Garnacho injury latest
United winger Alejandro Garnacho started at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon but couldn’t help inspire a victory.
Garnacho started on the right flank and actually played the full 90 minutes in the 0-0 draw.
Garnacho was scheduled to fly out to join up with the Argentina squad for this international break.
However, TyC Sports reporter Gaston Edul reports that Garnacho has now been pulled out of the Argentina squad.
“Alejandro Garnacho will be removed from the Argentine National Team due to physical issues. Returns in November for a double date,” said Edul.
Fabrizio Romano adds that Garnacho is suffering with discomfort and United staff plan to ‘assess’ his situation soon.
Garnacho has since taken to Instagram to claim that he has a knee problem and will be looking to recover as quickly as possible.
Argentina will now take Garnacho out of the squad and he will miss upcoming games against Venezuela and Bolivia.
This is a second injury problem heading into this break as Harry Maguire picked up a new problem against Villa.
Garnacho rest may be a boost for Manchester United
Garnacho wasn’t at his best against Villa and United fans certainly weren’t impressed with his display.
The wide man has been used prominently this season, racking up almost 600 minutes of action across the Premier League, League Cup and Europa League.
The 20-year-old would have taken on more minutes by playing for Argentina and jetting off to South America would have only caused more problems.
Now able to rest up and take care of any knock, Garnacho will look to be fit and firing when United return against Brentford after this international break.
As things stand, United defender Lisandro Martinez is still scheduled to join up with Argentina and will be in action over the coming 10 days.
