The Manchester United star ruled out facing Liverpool on yet another injury setback
Manchester United's injury woes continue as midfielder Mason Mount is sidelined with a fresh injury.
The 25-year-old was forced off at half-time in last weekend's Premier League defeat by Brighton, and the club confirmed today that he will be sidelined for a few games due to injury.
Mount's absence is a significant blow for United, especially ahead of the crucial Liverpool game this weekend.
The midfielder has been a key starter in the first two games of the season, and his injury leaves manager Erik ten Hag with few options in the middle of the park.
Mason Mount guarantees recovery after injury
Mason Mount in a statement on his social media, admitted that the latest injury has left him frustrated after working hard in the pre-season to regain his fitness.
He sent the following message:
“In the last game I had a little muscle problem.”
“I've checked it and it looks like I'll be out for a few games. Before and during the pre-season, I worked hard to get my fitness back where it needed to be and I felt strong, sharp and ready.”
“I wanted you to hear directly from me how upset I am, as I expect you to be upset too. I will do everything possible to get back in good shape and help the team.”

Injuries started at Manchester United
Mount joined Manchester United from Chelsea last summer, but his first season with the Red Devils has been plagued by injuries.
He was injured at the beginning of the season, which made him miss six games, and when he started to regain his dignity, he injured his calf and was out of action for four months, which made him miss 21 games. (Transfermarkt)
This latest setback adds to United's growing list of injury concerns. The club has been hampered by injuries since the start of the season, and the loss to the Mount adds to the challenges facing Ten Hag.
The Dutchman will hope to bounce back from this weekend's defeat to Brighton by beating United's biggest rivals Liverpool.
