Valencia sustains foot injury in derby
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has confirmed Antonio Valencia picked up a foot injury during the derby-day draw with City at Old Trafford.The Ecuadorian right-back was hurt in the first half but re-emerged for the restart and attempted to provide some spark down the flank, while defending stoutly alongside his colleagues.
Valencia played on until the 81st minute before having to admit defeat when in some pain, making way for Italy international Matteo Darmian. As such, our no.25 will presumably be considered a doubt for Wednesday night's Capital One Cup tie against Middlesbrough.
"He had a kick on his foot in the first half and then I let Darmian warm up on the touchline," van Gaal told MUTV after the final whistle. "But then he played further. However, at the end, he could not continue."
