Bruno Fernandes, a star for Manchester United, is seriously doubtful due to an injury ahead of this weekend’s Manchester Derby. If he misses the match, his illustrious career will come to an end.
Bruno Fernandes, a great player for Manchester United, is a serious doubt for this weekend’s match and may miss his first-ever game due to injury.
On Sunday afternoon, the Red Devils head to the Etihad Stadium to play Manchester City, the current champions. Before the match, Erik ten Hag’s team is coping with several injuries.
After suffering an injury during the FA Cup victory against Nottingham Forest, Fernandes might be about to add to that. Ten Hag said, “I don’t go into that,” in response to a question regarding the Portuguese midfielder’s fitness. You could see that Forest was aiming at him. It was a significant injury, but I won’t reveal what it is. I see him getting flak on social media. It is pitiful.
“He has a serious injury, but he fought to be a part of this game and played on Saturday,” he concluded. His pain threshold is high. He performed a similar act against the Spurs and, I believe, in the semifinals last year. It demonstrates his leadership.”
Ten Hag has emphasized Fernandes’ dedication, but an injury would be cause for concern. He has played in over 500 games throughout his career, and he has never missed one due to injury.
The 29-year-old has never been ruled out of playing for Sporting Lisbon, Novara, Udinese, Sampdoria, or Manchester United during his career. He has only ever missed time due to illness or needing to rest.
Fernandes has faced yet another demanding season thus far. In 35 games across all competitions, he has contributed eight assists and seven goals to the Red Devils.
Ten Hag has heaped praise on the midfielder ahead of this weekend’s match. When asked how much he values the professionalism of his captain, he replied, “Very highly.”
“First of all, he has incredible creativity in the last third when creating chances with his football talents. He is a vital player who is capable of scoring goals. Additionally, his work includes evaluating the situation, reading the press, and leading, as well as protecting and defending jobs.
Additionally, setting an example by running constantly at the appropriate times. And directing players, he is unquestionably a model of leadership.
Ten Hag has been pleased with Fernandes’ contributions, although he has also had some issues with the midfield player. In a video that appeared to be a mockery of him for inflating an ailment, he sought an apology from Fulham before taking the offensive once more.
“I did not know about this video,” stated the man. “I would say it is wrong if they did this. A club has no business making such remarks because they are completely inappropriate and out of line. They ought to express regret for this.
