Cunha and Yoro: Major injury update emerges on Man United duo – ESPN
A major update has emerged regarding the injury concerns of Manchester United duo Matheus Cunha and Leny Yoro as the team draws within touching distance of securing Champions League football.
The 1-0 win over Chelsea in a crucial clash at Stamford Bridge has put Michael Carrick’s side in the driving seat for the race to finish in the top five places.
The 44-year-old coach was forced to field a makeshift backline against the Blues after a last-minute knock for Yoro ruled the French starlet out of the trip to west London, joining Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez – both ruled out through suspension – and the injured Matthijs de Ligt on the sidelines.
But the Red Devils emerged unscathed from the Battle of the Bridge, with Cunha producing a superb first-time finish from Bruno Fernandes’ driven cross to secure all three points. It puts third-placed United 10 points clear of Chelsea in sixth.
Matheus Cunha and Leny Yoro have received a major update regarding their injuries, although specific details about their conditions were not disclosed.
The recent 1-0 victory over Chelsea puts Manchester United in a strong position to secure a top-five finish and qualify for the Champions League.

Two wins from the remaining five fixtures will deliver a return to Europe’s elite competition. However, with back-to-back home games against an in-form Brentford side and the club’s bitter rivals, Liverpool, nothing can be taken for granted.
There were fears that Yoro’s injury might be season-ending, while Cunha left the pitch on Saturday in visible pain when being substituted. However, ESPN has now delivered an update that both players are hoping to make a quick return in a major boost for Carrick’s men.
Rob Dawson, ESPN’s senior correspondent, reveals United’s medical team are “hopeful” Cunha and Yoro will be fit for Monday night’s clash with Brentford.
Yoro “picked up a small knock” in training on Friday which is “not said to be serious”, while Cunha is understood to have a “little bit of discomfort in his right groin”.
The nine-day gap between the two fixtures is a positive for their chances of being “fit and available” next week, Dawson concludes.
Maguire will also return after serving a two-game suspension for misconduct following his red card against Bournemouth last month, bolstering United’s depleted defensive unit.
However, Ayden Heaven’s imperious performance at Stamford Bridge alongside makeshift centre-back Noussair Mazraoui was one of the highlights of the victory on Saturday. It is a good problem for Carrick to have, as it will be difficult to decide who to pick to partner Maguire out of his two young defenders.
The Red Devils kick off at 8pm on Monday hoping to avenge the 3-1 loss away to Brentford earlier in the season. Three points will put them on the precipice of Champions League football, offering the tantalising prospect of securing outright it with a win over Liverpool on 3 May.
