Mason Mount Out for Two Matches with Injury
Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount is set to miss the club's next two Premier League matches after picking up an injury in their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Mount was substituted in the 85th minute of the match and the club have since confirmed that he has a "small complaint". He is expected to be out until after the international break next month.
The injury is a blow to Mount, who has been in good form for United so far this season. He has started both of the club's Premier League games and scored one goal.
Mount's absence will also be a concern for England manager Gareth Southgate. The midfielder is a key member of the England squad and is expected to start in their World Cup qualifiers against Albania and San Marino next month.
It is not yet clear how serious Mount's injury is, but the club have said that he will be assessed further in the coming days.
Impact of the Injury
Mount's injury is a significant blow to Manchester United. He is one of their most creative players and his absence will leave a void in the midfield.
The Red Devils have also been struggling for goals this season, so Mount's absence will not help their attacking output.
United will now need to find a way to replace Mount's creativity and goals. Bruno Fernandes is likely to be the main beneficiary of Mount's injury, but the Portuguese midfielder will need to step up his game if United are to challenge for the Premier League title.
Return Date
Mount is expected to be out until after the international break next month. This means that he will miss United's matches against Nottingham Forest and Arsenal.
The midfielder is also a doubt for England's World Cup qualifiers against Albania and San Marino. However, Southgate will be hoping that Mount can recover in time to play a part in those matches.
Conclusion
Mason Mount's injury is a setback for both Manchester United and England. The midfielder is a key player for both clubs and his absence will be felt.
United will now need to find a way to replace Mount's creativity and goals, while Southgate will be hoping that the midfielder can recover in time to play a part in England's World Cup qualifiers.
