Manchester United fans were handed the injury update they never wanted on Monday evening as Ana Pinho, Bruno Fernandes' wife, posted a picture of him resting up in a brace with a protective boot by his side.
Fernandes returned to the starting line-up in Sunday's FA Cup win over Brighton, following suspension for the dismal Europa League defeat at Sevilla, but landed awkwardly on his ankle during the first half. The United midfielder battled it out for the full 90 minutes despite the pain, eventually being taken off by Erik ten Hag in extra-time.
Fernandes was out on the pitch celebrating with his teammates after Victor Lindelof's penalty booked their place in the final, but he looked a little uneasy. An assessment of his injury was due on Monday, but confirmation of his injury or the length of his absence is yet to surface.
