He was on the end of a heavy tackle from Kyle Walker-Peters, and speaking ahead of their Real Betis clash, Erik ten Hag said: “I can’t say exactly at this moment, but it will take weeks.

“So it’s a serious injury, didn’t expect, but a foul. A serious injury. Once again after Christian Eriksen, we have a serious injury after contact.

“It’s not a good decision and it’s difficult to make a diagnosis that quickly but I saw him limping and that’s why I took him off also because it was my last opportunity to sub him and to bring on as well.

“He will be back before the end of the season. We need to get him back as soon as possible and we hope he is ready.”
