Manchester United's Martin Dubravka during the warm up before the match
Manchester United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka has suffered an international break injury with Slovakia, The Mirror report.
The Lowdown: Summer move
The Red Devils secured Dubravka’s services late in the summer window on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy from Newcastle United.
The 33-year-old, labelled as ‘top class’ by journalist Josh Bunting and dubbed a leader by The Chronicle’s Mick Quinn, has been on the bench twice for United, missing a Europa League game with FC Sheriff last time out.
Dubravka’s absence didn’t prevent him from linking up with his national side, but it looks as if he has suffered an issue with Slovakia.
The Latest: Dubravka injury
The Mirror shared a story regarding Dubravka on Thursday afternoon.
They claimed that the goalkeeper has suffered an injury in training with Slovakia and has returned to Carrington for further tests, labelling it as a ‘concern’ for Ten Hag.
The Verdict: Not ideal
Dubravka was seemingly brought in to provide competition and cover for David de Gea, so this injury update isn’t ideal.
Where will United finish this season?
Top 4
5th-7th
8th or lower
You’d expect that he could well be a doubt for the trip to Manchester City next weekend as a result of this news, which could mean that Tom Heaton will be required to take a place on the bench, as he did against FC Sheriff.
Hopefully, Dubravka’s issue isn’t too serious and he’ll be back sooner rather than later, as he could be needed when the games come thick and fast prior to the break for the World Cup.
