Manchester United’s midfielder Mason Mount is set to miss a few upcoming games due to a minor muscle injury, the club confirmed recently. This setback adds to the list of injured players for the team, including forward Rasmus Højlund and defenders Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, and Victor Lindelof. These injuries come just in time for the crucial league game against Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Mount, who started both of United’s league games this season, has had a history of injury struggles. The 25-year-old player suffered a hamstring injury last season in August and was later sidelined again for four months in November due to a calf injury. Despite signing with United in July 2023 for a significant amount, Mount’s appearances last season were limited to just 20 matches due to multiple injuries.
In a statement released on social media, Mason Mount expressed his frustration at yet another injury setback. He mentioned that he picked up the minor muscle issue during the last game, which ultimately led to his current absence from the team. Mount also emphasized how hard he had worked during the pre-season to get back to peak fitness and how disappointed he is to face this injury setback.
Mount’s Determination
However, Mount remains determined to overcome his current injury hurdle and return to the field stronger. He assured fans that he would do everything possible to regain his fitness and contribute effectively to the team once he is back in action. Despite not being named in the upcoming squad for the national team’s matches in the Nations League, Mount’s focus is on recovering and making a successful comeback.
Mason Mount’s injury serves as a setback for Manchester United, especially with other key players also sidelined. Mount’s history of injuries poses a significant challenge for the player and the team as they navigate through the upcoming games. However, Mount’s determination and commitment to recovery are admirable qualities that will undoubtedly help him overcome this setback and make a strong comeback for United.
