Erik ten Hag's hope for Bruno Fernandes as extent of worrying injury revealed

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will hope to have Bruno Fernandes back for the Premier League game against Brighton, but an earlier return remains possible.

Fans of the FA Cup finalists were left concerned after photos showed the midfielder in a protective boot after the semi against the Seagulls. Fernandes was forced off during extra-time, meaning he played no part in United's penalty shoot-out victory.

Thursday's match against Tottenham will come too soon for the former Sporting star, who is also a doubt for the game at home to Aston Villa on Sunday. With United still needing points to secure a top-four finish, though, Ten Hag will be desperate to bring him in over the weekend despite huge doubts over the player's availability.
