Manchester United have suffered a setback ahead of Sunday’s clash with Chelsea, as midfielder Toby Collyer has been ruled out of action for a month with an injury, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Collyer was promoted to the United first team this summer, and made his Premier Leaguedebut in September, replacing Casemiro at half-time of the Red Devils’ 3-0 defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford. Highly regarded by academy coaches, the 20-year-old hasn’t featured in a matchday squad since the 3-3 draw with Porto in early October.
However, admired by Ruud van Nistelrooy, it’s possible that the youngster would’ve played some part in certain matches in the Dutchman’s short tenure as United boss. Former manager Erik ten Hag confirmed prior to his team’s win over Brentford a few weeks ago that Collyer was struggling with an issue, and the Manchester Evening News have reported that this issue will see him sidelined for roughly four weeks.
