\nFears over the fitness of Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes have been exacerbated after he was spotted with his wrist in a protective cast ahead of the club’s Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n
United are set to make their way to the capital on Monday to take on Oliver Glasner’s men at Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n
Despite being boosted by the returns of players like Anthony Martial and Jonny Evans<\/a> who took part in a first-team training session at Carrington on Thursday, there are multiple other stars facing a race against time to be available for the clash.<\/p>\n Speaking during his presser<\/a>, Erik ten Hag revealed that a late decision will be made on the participation of Scott McTominay, who picked up an issue during the 1-1 draw against Burnley.<\/p>\n The United boss also revealed that Fernandes is a doubt for the game although considering the Portuguese midfielder has yet to miss a game for the club due to injury since he joined, he can’t be ruled out entirely.<\/p>\n Fernandes sustained the physical setback during the dramatic FA Cup semi-final win vs. Coventry City at Wembley.<\/p>\n In subsequent matches against Sheffield United and Burnley, the United skipper played through the pain barrier. However, if Ten Hag’s comments are anything to go by, it seems the issue is still massively disturbing the playmaker.<\/p>\n These concerns were heightened further after a picture (published by The Manchester Evening News<\/a><\/em>) showed Fernandes’ right wrist enclosed within a protective medical cast – almost two weeks after he was injured.<\/p>\n The 29-year-old was pictured leaving a coffee shop in Wilmslow on Friday morning.<\/p>\n Bruno Fernandes spotted wearing protective cast amid further Manchester United injury worry \ud83d\ude23 #mufc<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/AAC17NPguh<\/a><\/p>\n — Man United News (@ManUtdMEN) May 3, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
