Kobbie Mainoo Injury Update: Manchester United Midfielder Set to Miss Tottenham Clash, Expected to Be Sidelined for Weeks

Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is set to miss the upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur due to injury.

The 19-year-old sustained a muscle injury during the team's recent fixture against Aston Villa, leading to his withdrawal from international duty with England. The club has announced that Mainoo is expected to be sidelined for several weeks, though an exact timeline for his return has not been provided. 

Mainoo's absence adds to Manchester United's growing list of injured midfielders, including Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer. In response to these challenges, manager Ruben Amorim has promoted 19-year-old Jack Moorhouse from the under-21 squad to the first team. Moorhouse has impressed in the Premier League 2 this season, scoring three goals in seven appearances. 

The injury crisis has also raised concerns among fans about the potential midfield pairing of Christian Eriksen and Casemiro against Tottenham. Supporters have expressed apprehension due to the duo's combined age and recent limited playing time together. 

Manchester United's match against Tottenham Hotspur is scheduled for today, Sunday, February 16, 2025, at 5:30 PM CET.
