Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee is facing an uncertain future this season after sustaining a hamstring injury during Sunday’s defeat to Newcastle.
The 23-year-old Netherlands international limped off in the second half, and subsequent tests have cast doubt on his availability for the remainder of the campaign.
Head coach Ruben Amorim is expected to provide further updates on Wednesday, ahead of United’s crucial Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon at Old Trafford.
With the tie finely poised at 2-2, the news of Zirkzee’s absence is a significant blow to Amorim’s plans.
Zirkzee, who joined United from Bologna last summer, has been a reliable presence in attack, netting seven goals this season, including one in the first-leg draw against Lyon.
His injury leaves United with a challenging run-in, as they aim to secure success in both the Premier League and Europa League.
United have six league matches remaining, concluding their campaign against Aston Villa on 25 May. Should they reach the Europa League final, the fixture will take place in Bilbao, Spain, on 21 May.
