Manchester United confirmed that Patrick Dorgu will miss several weeks of action after sustaining a hamstring injury on January 28 2026, dealing a setback to the club during a congested phase of the season.
The injury occurred during a training session ahead of United’s upcoming fixtures. Medical assessments carried out on January 29 showed muscle strain that will require rehabilitation rather than surgery. Club officials said the player has begun a recovery program under the supervision of the medical team.
Dorgu has featured regularly in recent matches and earned praise for his defensive consistency and versatility. His absence is expected to force adjustments in the squad as Manchester United manage domestic league commitments and European competition.
Managerial staff indicated that the club will avoid rushing the defender back to action to prevent aggravating the injury. A return timeline will depend on how he responds to treatment over the coming weeks.
The club stated that updates will be provided as recovery progresses and wished the player a smooth return to full fitness.
