Manchester United have 11 players injured or awaiting assessment, and Carrick's pre-match press conference is the biggest talking point.曼联 11 人带伤或待评估,卡里克赛前发布会成最大看点
After the international break, Manchester United's injury situation has not improved — it has got worse. The Manchester Evening News has counted at least 11 players carrying injury concerns or awaiting assessment, and Carrick will address them one by one at Friday's pre-match press conference.
国际比赛日结束,曼联的伤病情况不但没有好转,反而更糟。《曼彻斯特晚报》统计,队内至少有 11 名球员存在伤病隐患或待评估状态,卡里克将在本周五的赛前发布会上逐一说明。
The biggest problem is at left-back. Shaw is fully recovered, but Patrick Dorgu and Noussair Mazraoui, the two players meant to share his workload, both returned injured from international duty — Dorgu went off with a non-contact injury in midfield during Denmark's match against Wales, was substituted immediately after the game, and flew straight back to Manchester for checks. MailSport described the injury as "particularly worrying" because the same area already kept him out for nearly three months earlier this year. Mazraoui was hurt in a collision during Morocco's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Lesotho and missed the friendly that followed.
In other words, Carrick has only Shaw left as an available left-back. If any one of De Ligt, Amad or Bariba fails to make Saturday, the margin for rotation will be cut to the bare minimum.
最麻烦的是左后卫。卢克·肖已经伤愈,但原本要分担他压力的帕特里克·多尔古和努赛尔·马兹拉维双双在国际比赛日期间受伤归队——多尔古在丹麦对阵威尔士的比赛中场无接触受伤,赛后立即被换下,随后直接飞回曼彻斯特接受检查。MailSport 称其伤情为「格外令人担忧」,因为同一部位今年早些时候已让他缺阵近三个月。马兹拉维则在摩洛哥对阵莱索托的非洲杯预选赛中被撞伤,无缘紧接着的热身赛。
换句话说,卡里克能用的左后卫只剩卢克·肖一人。如果德利赫特、阿玛德·迪亚洛、巴莱巴三人中任何一人赶不上周六,轮换的容错率将降到最低点。
