EPL: Man United’s Dorgu to Miss 10 Weeks With Hamstring Injury

Manchester United defender Patrick Dorgu is set to be sidelined for up to 10 weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury, dealing a blow to the club’s defensive options.

The injury was confirmed following medical assessments, which revealed that the defender would require an extended period of recovery and rehabilitation. Sources at the club say Dorgu picked up the injury during recent first-team activities and will be unavailable for selection throughout a crucial phase of the Premier League season.

United’s medical team has placed Dorgu on a structured recovery programme, with the focus on full rehabilitation to avoid aggravating the injury. The club is expected to monitor his progress closely, and a return to action will depend on how well he responds to treatment in the coming weeks.

The absence of the defender could force manager Erik ten Hag to reshuffle his backline, especially with a congested fixture schedule that includes domestic league matches and European commitments. Young players or squad rotation options may be called upon to fill the gap left by Dorgu’s injury.

Dorgu has featured regularly for Manchester United this season, earning praise for his work rate and defensive contributions. His injury comes at a challenging time for the club as they continue to push for consistency in the league.

Manchester United have not given an exact return date but expect the defender to be fit again towards the latter part of the season, provided there are no setbacks in his recovery.
