Eric Bailly Provides Update After Injury Scare

Eric Bailly Provides Update After Injury Scare

Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has provided an update after an injury scare while on international duty with Ivory Coast.

The 26-year-old had managed to work his way back from a previous injury into United's starting XI before the international break, although he did have to endure a shocking defeat as the Red Devils were thumped 6-1 by Tottenham Hotspur.

Bailly came into the team at the expense of Victor Lindelof, who had come under heavy criticism following recent errors.

The centre-back featured in Ivory Coast's 1-1 draw with Belgium in a friendly match on Thursday, but was substituted with 20 minutes to go, and walked off the pitch holding his hamstring.

This was a worrying sight for United, who did not bring in reinforcements at centre-back during the transfer window, while also seeing Chris Smalling head to AS Roma.

However, Bailly later took to Instagram to write: "Thanks for worrying about me. But I feel perfectly fine, just fatigue."

Ivory Coast will face Japan on Tuesday, but there has been no indication as to whether or not Bailly will feature in that encounter.
