Erik ten Hag provides Raphael Varane injury update after defender left in tears

Erik ten Hag has moved to play down fears that Raphael Varane could miss the World Cup by insisting the extent of the injury will not be known until Monday at the earliest.

Varane was forced to leave Manchester United's draw with Chelsea on the hour mark with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. The Frenchman was motionless on the ground for several minutes before departing the pitch with the help of United's physio and doctor.

As he left the pitch, Varane could be seen crying, suggesting that he felt the injury he suffered would rule him out for a substantial period of time. With the World Cup in Qatar less than a month away, any significant injury will likely mean he is not able to feature in the tournament.
