Manchester United could be without captain Bruno Fernandes for their clash with Arsenal on Wednesday due to an ankle injury.
Bruno Fernandes Injury: Manchester United Skipper Could Sit Out Of Arsenal Clash
The 30-year-old set up his side’s first two goals in Manchester United’s 4-0 rout of Everton on Sunday.
However, Bruno Fernandes was subbed off in the second half with a suspected ankle injury.

And the latest Bruno Fernandes injury news is that he could now miss the trip down to the capital as a result.
The United captain was seen wearing an ice pack on his left ankle on the bench before limping down the tunnel with just one boot on at full-time.
It remains to be seen whether the Portuguese playmaker will be fit for United’s trip to Arsenal.
Ruben Amorim’s Selection Dilemma
United boss Ruben Amorim will now be sweating on the fitness of his captain. Should he fail to overcome the ankle issue, it will mean he will be without three first-team players.
This is because midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and defender Lisandro Martinez are both suspended for the visit to the Emirates.

The duo both picked up their fifth yellow cards of the season in the win over Everton, with both now serving a one-game suspension.
Fernandes has remarkably missed just one football game for United through injury since arriving in January 2020.
United can move level on points with Nottingham Forest in sixth should they manage to beat Arsenal in north London.
Title-chasers Arsenal can close the gap to leaders Liverpool to six points with a win of their own.
