BREAKING NEWS: “Although we have match today, but what the doctor me about Patrick dorgu injury has completely changed my mood”: Michael Carrick reveals what the doctor told him about Patrick dorgu injury that has got him angry today.
MICHAEL CARRICK HAS REVEALED THE LATEST NEWS ONE PATRICK DORGU INJURY.
Michael Carrick has confirmed that Patrick Dorgu is set for a spell on the sidelines after injuring himself against Arsenal but was unable to offer a specific timeline for the wing-back’s return.
Dorgu has been in fine form for the Red Devils in recent weeks but injured his hamstring in the 3-2 win over Arsenal last weekend. It has since been claimed the Denmark international, 21, could be absent for as long as 10 weeks, sparking fears Carrick will be deprived of a key player for a significant period.
Carrick confirmed that Dorgu is expected to be out of action – but he stopped short of confirming whether it would be for a significant period, stressing the club were still working on the extent of the issue.
Speaking in his press conference on Friday, Carrick said: “Pat, unfortunately, he’s going to be out for a period of time. We’re still working through how long that’s going to be.
“We’ll have to see, [it’s] disappointing, he’s had such a big couple of weeks, Pat. We weren’t sure whether it was a little bit of cramp or whether it was something a little bit more serious and at the moment it looks a little bit more on the serious note.

“So, it’ll be a few weeks for that. How many weeks? We’ll have to wait and see. So, that’s disappointing for all of us really, and for Pat, he’s in such a good place, but unfortunately it is part of football and it’s something we’ve got to work through and get him back as soon as we can.”
Matthijs de Ligt will also be absent for Fulham’s visit to Old Trafford but Carrick should be able to call upon Joshua Zirkzee for the first time since his appointment, with the attacker back in training.
