Goalkeeper David de Gea is a doubt for Manchester United’s Premier League game against Liverpool on Sunday after coming off injured on Spain duty.
(The) – year-old appeared to hurt his hamstring during his country Euro 2020 qualifier in Sweden.
He was replaced by Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga after an hour in Stockholm with his side trailing 1-0.
An injury-time Rodrigo equaliser earneda 1-1 drawand secured Spain’s spot at the Euros.
De Gea’s injury came in innocuous circumstances – he immediately grabbed the back of his leg after clearing a backpass from his own player.
He sat on the ground in his six-yard box before making his way off the pitch alongside the physios.
United are 12 th in the Premier League and have not won in their past three top-flight games.
They will face a Liverpool side aiming for an 18 th consecutive Premier League win, a total that would equal the record held by Manchester City.
De Gea was critical of his side’s performances this season after their last match –a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle– saying: “The whole season isn’t acceptable for us .
“We have injuries but it’s not an excuse. We are Manchester United. We need to train hard to keep fighting and to get back to winning games. “
If De Gea is unable to feature at Old Trafford at the weekend, Argentine Sergio Romero – who has featured in the Europa League and Carabao Cup this season – is likely to replace him.
