Jose Mourinho’s recent frustrations continued at Old Trafford as he lost
Romelu Lukaku to a worrying head injury in Manchester United’s goalless
Premier League draw with Southampton on Saturday.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be out of action for a month, but he hopes to have Romelu Lukaku back soon following his head injury.
Ibrahimovic went off at half-time in United’s Boxing Day draw against Burnley, but Mourinho did not divulge the nature of the injury that will keep the former Paris Saint-Germain star sidelined throughout January.
“Zlatan one month out,” Mourinho told BT Sport following Saturday’s 0-0 draw against Southampton.
Ibrahimovic had only recently got back into the United team after missing the first half of the season while he recovered from a serious knee injury suffered in April.
With Ibrahimovic out for a prolonged period, Mourinho could have done without Belgian forward Lukaku being stretchered off in the first half against Southampton after a clash of heads with Wesley Hoedt.
He lay prone on the pitch barely moving while he was treated by medical staff for five minutes.
Lukaku remained conscious and was eventually carried off wearing an oxygen mask.
But Mourinho claimed Lukaku wasn’t seriously hurt.
