Manchester United have been struck with another fitness blow during the international break after Ayden Heaven was injured for England’s Under-20s on Friday.
The Young Lions were beaten 1–0 by Switzerland’s Under-20s at St George’s Park, with Heaven one of four United players in Ben Futcher’s squad. However, the centre back suffered an injury setback in the first half and was withdrawn at the break.
Heaven received significant treatment on the pitch and, despite being able to continue for the remainder of the first half, the 19-year-old was replaced by Crystal Palace’s Eyimofe Jemide at halftime.
Futcher was optimistic about Heaven’s injury in his post-match interviews, but couldn’t shed significant light on the youngster’s issue.
“He picked something up,“ said the England Under-20s boss. “I don't think it is too serious but we will have to see how it settles down.”
