The physique of the Red Devils is observed with a magnifying glass by Roberto Martinez this weekend. Each small fall or grimace gives chills to the coach and his staff. Like when Leandro Trossard slipped and held his ankle with Brighton. Fortunately, more fear than harm.
However, this is not the case for Thomas Meunier. At the start of the second half, Borussia Dortmund right-back asked his coach to leave the pitch. The Ardennes actually complained about his left knee. The same one that has already made her feel pain in recent days.
Already absent for several weeks following an inflammation of the knee last season, Meunier has therefore joined the infirmary. He is said to be suffering from an open wound on his knee but also from a very swollen toe.
These pains could prevent him from joining the Red Devils this Monday in Tubize since there is a broken toe. While waiting to learn more this Sunday, we can only worry about a possible absence against France. Still. We remember that in the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup, Meunier had already been deprived of a duel with the Blues because of an excess of yellow cards.
The coach was reassured by the physical state of Dedryck Boyata. Package last weekend because of hamstring pain, the defender of Hertha Berlin was this time able to play the 90 minutes of his duel with Freiburg.
