Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu injury absence update from Michael Carrick
While everybody is disappointed with what seems like particularly poor timing for Patrick, there is an excitement over what he will keep bringing to the team, when he regains full fitness.
“It’s a blow,” admitted Carrick. “It’s always a blow when you lose players and they can’t be involved, and we can’t choose them. Especially when you’ve had an impact like Patrick did over the last few weeks, just finding that next level.
“Unfortunately, football throws things up, there are ups and downs. For this short period of time, he’s disappointed, he wants to be fit. But he’s going to have a career for the next 10 or 15 years, and hopefully, this is just a little moment for him.
“Coming off the back of the huge positive he’s just had, I think, when he comes back, he’ll be even stronger again.”
Everyone at United wishes Patrick a speedy recovery.
