Manchester United are sweating over the fitness of Raphael Varane with the defender set to undergo scans on an ankle injury sustained in the defeat to Manchester City.
The Frenchman was subbed off just 40 minutes into Sunday's Manchester derby with a suspected sprained ankle, with L'Equipe reporting he will now have an assessment today (Monday). Their report adds that United's medical team had difficulty in making an immediate prognosis of Varane's injury due to swelling around the joint.
United were already three down by the time Victor Lindelof replaced Varane at the heart of the defence, but the Swedish international could do little to stop the onslaught as City eventually ran out 6-3 winners. Varane's injury could now put his chances of featuring in Thursday's Europa League group clash against Cypriot side Omonia Nicosia in doubt.
