Now, in more concerning news, goalkeeper Karl Darlow has withdrawn from the Wales squad for their upcoming Nations League matches.
The announcement was made on Monday morning, with Leicester City’s David Cornell called up by Craig Bellamy to replace the 35-year-old.
Darlow moved to Old Trafford on a free transfer from Leeds United over the summer and made his debut in the Carabao Cup defeat to Brighton last week.

It is not clear what injury he has suffered, as Darlow was on the bench against Fulham just 24 hours ago.
While not an immediate crisis as Senne Lammens is firmly United’s No.1, a Darlow injury could prove very problematic as third-choice keeper Tom Heaton is also sidelined with an ankle injury.
The three-week international break may give players enough time to recover, with Carlos Baleba, Amad Diallo and Matthijs de Ligt all expected to be back to full fitness.

Wales face Portugal, Norway and Denmark twice over the September/October break.
After winning just one of their opening five Premier League games, United’s first game after the break against win-less Tottenham has now become must-win.
