Erik ten Hag provides an update on Raphael Varane as details of the Manchester United star’s injury emerge.
After the defender was forced off during Manchester United’s dramatic 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Saturday night at Stamford Bridge, manager Erik ten Hag gave fans an update on Raphael Varane’s injury blow.
Raphael Varane, a defender for Manchester United, reportedly suffered a significant injury against Chelsea that may prevent him from competing in the World Cup.
Varane was taken off early in the second half at Stamford Bridge after twisting his ankle while attempting to intercept a pass for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
He left the pitch in tears, punching the corner flag in anger and pulling his shirt over his face to cover his anguish. Victor Lindelof took his place, and United went on to score Casemiro’s first club goal to grab a late equalizer.

Varane appears to be suffering from a severe and protracted injury, which may be disastrous for the France international with the World Cup less than a month away.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of United, gave an update following the game, but as was predicted, more information on the injury is still pending.
‘Nothing in this moment,’ the Dutchman, who consoled Varane as he went off, said.
