Following the match, Garnacho was spotted leaving Old Trafford with crutches. During the press conference, the coach attempted to assuage the concerns of journalists who were eager to learn about the extent of the injury. He explained the substitution and provided an initial assessment of Garnacho’s condition.
According to the coach, “Garnacho was limping after a harsh tackle. They had already brought on a striker, and I decided not to take any risks. Since we were already a man down due to the Casemiro red card, I substituted him, but I don’t believe the injury is severe.” There is no timeline yet for Garnacho’s recovery.
