Manchester United star Eric Bailly set for some uninvolved spell of action due to COVID-19.
As indicated by The Mirror, Manchester United will be without protector Eric Bailly for the short term after the defender was tested as positive for COVID-19.
Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer affirmed that the 26-year-old will be missing for a brief period. He was missing from the side that went head to head against Brighton yesterday night.
Solksjaer while speaking to the club’s official site, said: “Unfortunately he won’t be with us for a little while. He’s been away with Ivory Coast and he tested positive with COVID and he’s not back in the country yet.”
Bailly was away on international duty with Ivory Coast. He highlighted in both of his country’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Niger and Ethiopia in March. Solskjaer affirmed that the defender will miss the current week’s twin header against Granada and Tottenham Hotspur. With games coming thick and quick, Bailly’s nonappearance will lessen the choices accessible at the back for Solskjaer.
Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof began against Brighton and look set to proceed in the Ivorian’s nonappearance. Given what is in question, it is hard to see Solskjaer go with anybody yet the accomplished couple.
Solskjaer affirmed that Bailly is yet to show up in England. The 26-year-old is the third United star to test positive this season. Both Paul Pogba and Alex Telles had before encountered a similar difficulty. Bailly on his day is an astounding protector for United. Nonetheless, his time at Old Trafford has been penetrated by wounds. With his agreement lapsing in 2022, his future at the club stays indistinct.
Man United are supposed to be available to an exit for the player and has put a price of £17m drawing consideration from Serie A monsters Inter Milan.
