Michael Carrick has confirmed Patrick Dorgu is facing a long spell on the sidelines, with the Manchester United defender set to be out for an extended period with injury.
Dorgu has been absent after picking up the problem in recent action, and Carrick admitted the situation is not looking good for the youngster. Speaking ahead of his side’s next fixture, Carrick delivered a bleak update on the left-back’s condition.
“It looks like he’s going to be out for a while,” Carrick said, confirming the fears around the severity of the injury.
The update is a major blow for United and for Dorgu, who has been pushing for more minutes. Carrick’s comments suggest the defender is now likely to miss a significant run of games as he continues his recovery.
United will assess their options while Dorgu remains unavailable, with Carrick acknowledging the disruption that an extended absence brings. For now, the focus is on his rehabilitation and getting him back fit as soon as possible.
