On loan Manchester United Goalkeeper Dean Henderson, has encountered a new complication in his rehabilitation from a thigh injury and may be out of action for as long as three months.
Manchester United’s Dean Henderson is facing an extended spell on the sidelines, potentially up to three months, after suffering a fresh setback in his recovery from a thigh injury. The England international has been on loan with Nottingham Forest but is now set to miss their final four games of the season.
Henderson initially sustained a grade two tear in his thigh in January, and it was anticipated that he could return to action within four to six weeks. However, the 26-year-old has unfortunately failed to make a full recovery, and Manchester Evening News reports that he will now undergo an operation for the same issue.
The news is a blow for Henderson, who had hoped to use his loan spell to stake a claim for the number one goalkeeper position at Manchester United next season. Instead, he faces a prolonged period on the sidelines and will now target a return to action in August at the earliest.
This setback also raises questions about Henderson’s long-term future at Old Trafford, with the player likely to be frustrated by his lack of playing time this season.
