The United manager commented to Sky Sports, “I believe it’s a soft tissue issue, so recovery will take some time. We’ll have to wait and see.”
“It’s quite unusual. Throughout this year, especially at this moment, we are facing numerous challenges, but we have to manage them.”
Later at his post-match press conference, Amorim indicated that he expects Fernandes to miss “a few” of the upcoming matches for the Reds.
“I’m not certain, but I think he will sit out some games. I don’t want to make any assumptions; he’s usually very fit and has consistently shown he can bounce back,” the head coach said.
