Manchester United defender Eric Bailly says he hopes to be back within two months after suffering a knee injury.
The 22-year-old Ivory Coast defender tangled with Eden Hazard during Sunday’s 4-0 defeat at Chelsea and was substituted in the 52nd minute.
After the game, manager Jose Mourinho said he was “afraid” it was “a bad injury.”[1]
“I hope to be able to play again for United and The Elephants before two months,” Bailly said[2] on social media.
Bailly had played every minute in the league for United before Sunday’s match at Stamford Bridge.
The centre-back signed from Spanish side Villarreal[3] for about £30m in the summer.
