Manchester United’s Ayden Heaven Suffers Injury in Victory Over Leicester City
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has provided an update on the injury sustained by 18-year-old defender Ayden Heaven during the team’s 3-0 win against Leicester City.
Heaven, who has been making notable progress since his move from Arsenal, was stretchered off following a collision with Leicester’s Patson Daka.
Amorim’s Concern Over Heaven’s Condition
Speaking at a press conference, Amorim expressed serious concern about the young defender’s injury, stating, “If what the doctor told me is true, Ayden Heaven might only be able to play football again under two conditions.” While he did not specify what those conditions were, his words hinted at a potentially significant injury.
Details of the Incident
The injury occurred in the second half, causing a lengthy stoppage as medical staff attended to Heaven. The severity of the situation was evident, as broadcasters opted not to replay the footage.
After the match, Heaven was seen leaving the stadium with his foot in a brace, though he was unable to fully describe the extent of his discomfort.
Impact on Manchester United’s Defense
Heaven’s setback further depletes United’s defensive options, with several key players already sidelined due to injuries and suspensions.
