Following the revelation of a photo by his wife, Bruno Fernandes seems to be a major question mark for Manchester United's matchup with Tottenham.
In the first half of United's triumph against Brighton in the FA Cup semifinal penalty shootout, the Portuguese international looked to pick up a knock.
In the 101st minute, Fernandes was taken off the field and replaced by Wout Weghorst.
The fact that Fernandes' wife Ana Pinho uploaded a picture on her Instagram story on Monday evening will greatly worry United supporters as they strive to finish in the top four.
Fernandes is shown on her Instagram account sitting on a couch with his right leg up on a pile of pillows. A protective boot and a set of crutches are on the floor next to him, and his ankle is strapped.
Concerns about Fernandes the Portuguese midfielder were raised on Sunday when it seemed like he was hobbling out of Wembley.
According to his wife's photo, Fernandes is unlikely to participate in Thursday's match against Spurs.
Through the Red Devils six points ahead of Spurs in the race for the Champions League qualifying slots, United manager Erik ten Hag will be hoping the midfielder doesn't lose much time.
The Red Devils are already dealing with injuries, with Lisandro Martinez out for the rest of the season and centre-back partner Raphael Varane also out.
Following the hiring of Ten Hag, Fernandes had this season found his form again.
He has contributed 13 assists and 10 goals so far this season, across all competitions.
