The roar of Old Trafford still echoed with the memory of Patrick Dorgu’s stunning goal against Arsenal, a moment of brilliance that ignited hope for Manchester United fans. But the celebration has been abruptly silenced, replaced by a growing concern over the young Dane’s well-being.
During the thrilling 3-2 victory, Dorgu was forced to leave the pitch, a worrying sight for those witnessing the match. Initial assessments suggested potential cramp, a common ailment in the heat of battle, offering a glimmer of optimism.
However, that hope has now faded. Detailed scans have revealed a more serious issue: a hamstring injury that will sideline the promising defender for a considerable period.
The estimated recovery time is a daunting ten weeks, a significant setback for both Dorgu and the team. This lengthy absence casts a shadow over United’s upcoming schedule and their ambitions for the remainder of the season.
A ten-week layoff would see Dorgu miss approximately eight crucial games, effectively ruling him out of contention until after the March international break. The team will undoubtedly feel the impact of his absence, both defensively and in the energy he brings to the pitch.
Further evaluations are ongoing to determine the full extent of the injury and refine the rehabilitation plan. The club will be hoping for a smooth recovery, eager to see Dorgu return to the field and continue his impressive form.
