Manchester United and Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte was stretchered off during his country's 2026 World Cup match against Spain after a painful collision with teammate Mathias Olivera while trying to stop Pedri.
The incident took place in the first half of a decisive Group H match, with Ugarte visibly distressed. No final official confirmation has yet been issued regarding the exact nature of the injury or the expected recovery period.
Spain went on to win 1-0 through Alex Baena's goal, a result that sent Uruguay out of the tournament at the group stage after collecting only two points.
The injury adds concern for Manchester United ahead of pre-season, especially if the problem proves long-term and affects the club's midfield and transfer planning.
