On loan Manchester United Goalkeeper Dean Henderson, has encountered a new complication in his rehabilitation from a thigh injury and may be out of action for as long as three months.
Share:Manchester United’s Dean Henderson is facing an extended spell on the sidelines, potentially up to three months, after suffering a fresh setback in his recovery from a thigh injury. The England international has been on loan with Nottingham Forest but is now set to miss their final four games of the season.
Henderson initially sustained a grade two tear in his thigh in January, and it was anticipated that he could return to action within four to six weeks. However, the 26-year-old has unfortunately failed to make a full recovery, and Manchester Evening News reports that he will now undergo an operation for the same issue.
The news is a blow for Henderson, who had hoped to use his loan spell to stake a claim for the number one goalkeeper position at Manchester United next season. Instead, he faces a prolonged period on the sidelines and will now target a return to action in August at the earliest.
This setback also raises questions about Henderson’s long-term future at Old Trafford, with the player likely to be frustrated by his lack of playing time this season.
