Hojlund Yoro of Manchester United is out for weeks due to injury

On Friday, Manchester United announced that forward Rasmus Hojlund will miss six weeks with a hamstring injury and freshly signed defender Leny Yoro will miss three months with a foot ailment. Erik ten Hag’s team, which struggled with injuries last season, has been handed another blow at the start of the league season. The FA Cup winners meet league champions Manchester City in the Community Shield on Aug. 10.

Hojlund and Yoro were substituted early in last weekend’s pre-season friendly against Arsenal, and Marcus Rashford left after 62 minutes in Wednesday’s 3-2 triumph over Real Betis in San Diego.“We have to wait,” Ten Hag said Friday of Rashford’s injury. “We don’t want to risk going into the season next week and an important game.”United visit Fulham in the season opener on Aug. 16 and play Liverpool in South Carolina on Saturday in their final pre-season game in the US.
