Manchester United have suffered a major injury blow ahead of the Premier League clash against Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The Red Devils ended a nine-match winless streak with a brilliant 3-2 comeback win over Roma in the Champions League last night.
Matheus Cunha was the star of the show with a brace and also won the penalty. Despite the win, there was one piece of disappointing news.
Baleba sustained a painful hamstring injury early into the second half and reports suggest that he could be sidelined for some time.
The Cameroonian had an injury-plagued start to the summer after an ankle issue in pre-season, but United still signed him from Brighton.
He has been an integral part of the starting plans over the past few weeks and his absence is a huge blow ahead of the Villa encounter.
Villa are one of the best teams when it comes to pressing in the centre of the park and United need to find the right combination for Sunday.
Youri Tielemans looks likely to partner Kobbie Mainoo in midfield, but his limited mobility could be a cause for concern for the Red Devils.
