Manchester United’s injury problems continue to mount with Marcus Rashford and Antony forced off in their 3-2 friendly win over Real Betis.
Erik ten Hag had already lost £52million signing Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund to fitness issues during the pre-season tour of the United States.
It is understood that French defender Yoro will miss three months with a foot injury, while Denmark striker Hojlund’s hamstring strain will sideline him for six weeks.
Yoro, 18, will stay with United for the rest of the tour and will be further assessed upon their return to Manchester.
Rashford scored from the penalty spot in the victory over Betis, but walked off in discomfort before the hour mark after he took a whack to his right ankle.
Antony was one of eight players sent on at Snapdragon Stadium, but could not finish the match.
The Brazilian forward exited in the 86th minute and looked disconsolate as he headed straight down the tunnel.
It provided an unsatisfactory end to an otherwise productive evening as United continue preparations ahead of their Community Shield clash with rivals Manchester City on August 10.
