# Manchester United: Fabrizio Romano drops Edinson Cavani injury news

**[Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1508961746240876547) has shared some ‘bad news’ for Manchester United regarding forward Edinson Cavani.**

### The Lowdown: Cavani’s injury problems

Cavani’s 2021/22 season has been one to forget, with the striker [missing](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/edinson-cavani/leistungsdaten/spieler/48280) large parts of the campaign due to quarantine issues, knocks, tendon irritation and most recently a groin problem.

The 35-year-old has been limited to just [six](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/edinson-cavani/leistungsdaten/spieler/48280) Premier League starts as a result, making a return to action against Tottenham prior to the international break.

He went away with Uruguay and [featured](https://www.flashscore.co.uk/player/cavani-edinson/Qgx2trzH/) against both Peru and Chile, however, Cavani appears to have picked up a fresh problem during the international break.

### The Latest: Romano’s post

[Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1508961746240876547) took to Twitter in the early hours of Wednesday morning to relay news of Cavani’s latest injury. He said:

> “Bad news for Manchester United as Edinson Cavani leaves the pitch with an injury during Uruguay game. New problem for el Matador.”

Manchester United have since [confirmed](https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/edinson-cavani-suffers-injury-setback-in-uruguay-win-south-american-world-cup-round-up-30-march-2022) that the striker is now a doubt for the match with Leicester City on Saturday following the fresh problem.

### The Verdict: End of the road?

Cavani impressed during his first season at Old Trafford, scoring [17](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/edinson-cavani/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/48280) goals in all competitions to earn him a [new 12-month deal](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/edinson-cavani-manchester-united-contract-b1845074.html).

Unfortunately, the experienced striker hasn’t been able to replicate his form this year, so a summer exit could well be on the cards.

It looks set to be a summer of change for the Red Devils off the pitch, with a new manager coming in to replace interim boss Ralf Rangnick.

Cavani is just one of a number of United players [out of contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-united/kader/verein/985) at the end of June, so his days at the club could be numbered following this latest injury blow.
