Man Utd dealt fresh injury blow as 26y/o suddenly unavailable to face Leicester following blow – report

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir will not be available to face Leicester City in the FA Cup tonight following a knock.

The 26-year-old was expected to be in goal against the Foxes following an impressive performance last time out in the FA Cup against Arsenal.

However, the Man United second-choice will not be involved today, with Andre Onana set to be involved in action as Tom Heaton is also out injured.

Ruben Amorim confirms injuries to keepers: "Altay, I think, he has a problem. So he is not available for the game. Tom is also not for this game but he can play the other ones [in the future]. So the rest are ready. The important thing is we are ready to face the game." #mufc https://t.co/xmeIy7SWdi

Amorim will hope both Bayindir and Heaton can return to action sooner rather than later as having only Onana fit in the department is not encouraging.

Man United face Tottenham Hotspur next weekend ahead of a run of important Premier League matches, and they need their best players available going forward if they want to end the 2024-25 campaign well.

The Red Devils are already thin at the back, with Lisandro Martinez out of the season and Luke Shaw recently suffering a setback in his recovery.
