Manchester United have been hit with an injury scare ahead of their game at home to Ipswich on Wednesday night.
The player suffered a knee problem during United’s 2-2 draw with Everton and could add to United’s lengthy injury list.
United boss Ruben Amorim faces an anxious wait to see whether the player will be available for the clash at Old Trafford.
Amad Diallo is expected to miss the rest of the season after suffering ankle ligament damage, while Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo are also currently unavailable.
Other United players who are also sidelined include Lisandro Martinez, Toby Collyer, Jonny Evans and Altay Bayindir.
United, who are languishing in 15th place in the Premier League, are determined to return to winning ways.

As reported by ESPN, Noussair Mazraoui is a doubt for the game against Ipswich.
The 27-year-old had to be substituted in the 70th minute against Everton as he was replaced by Leny Yoro.
Mazraoui is struggling with a knee problem and will be assessed again on Monday.
The Morocco international has featured prominently for United since joining from Bayern Munich last summer.
In total, Mazraoui has already made 38 appearances for United across all competitions.
He has been used in various positions by Amorim, featuring as a wing-back on either flank or as a central defender in a back three.
If Mazraoui is unavailable against Ipswich then it seems likely that Yoro could be named in the starting lineup.
United managed to salvage a point against Everton despite having been two goals down.

Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure scored in the first half to put Everton in the ascendancy but Bruno Fernandes got a goal back before Manuel Ugarte equalised in the 80th minute.
United are 13 points clear of the relegation zone but will be determined to move up the table as quickly as possible and finish a challenging campaign strongly.
There is still the possibility of silverware for United this season – they are through to the fifth round of the FA Cup, where they will host Fulham, while they will take on Real Sociedad in the round of 16 in the Europa League.
