Manchester United might potentially field their squad without their primary shot-stopper against Liverpool
Manchester United's Onana's Groin Injury Calls His Availability for Everton Game into Question
Manchester United's first-choice goalkeeper, André Onana, has been diagnosed with an injury in the groin area. The Cameroonian Football Federation's press service made the announcement today, revealing that the injury occurred during Cameroon's World Cup 2026 qualifier against Mauritius.
Initially, media reports suggested that Onana had injured his shoulder, but the diagnosis has been revised to a groin injury. The exact timeline for Onana's recovery will likely be determined following a comprehensive medical examination in England.
André Onana, who joined Manchester United from Italian club Inter Milan in the summer, has played 18 games for the Red Devils this season across various tournaments. He has kept six clean sheets in the 2023/24 campaign.
Onana's absence could potentially affect Manchester United's performance in the upcoming Premier League game against Everton. The game is scheduled for November 26 in Liverpool.
The injury came as a surprise, as Onana had missed preseason due to a hamstring injury but had since returned to training and was considered fit to play. However, the revised diagnosis suggests a more significant injury for Onana than initially thought.
Onana's participation in United's next Premier League game against Everton is now uncertain. The final decision on his availability rests with the coach Ruben Amorim, who will assess Onana's fitness and match readiness before making a decision.
The competition for the goalkeeper position from Altay Bayindir and a potential new signing, Senne Lammens, may also influence Onana’s immediate involvement but is not related to injury.
In summary, André Onana has recovered from his hamstring injury and is fit for Manchester United’s Premier League games, including the one against Everton, although his starting status depends on the coach’s decision rather than ongoing injury issues. The exact timeline for Onana's recovery will be determined following a comprehensive medical examination in England.
