Remains long-term absentee
Ugarte (knee) remains sidelined as he continues his rehabilitation from the serious knee injury suffered with Uruguay at the World Cup, according to coach Michael Carrick.
Analysis: Ugarte remains in the early stages of a lengthy recovery after undergoing surgery on the ACL injury suffered in June. The midfielder isn't expected to be an option for United for several months, leaving manager Michael Carrick to plan without him in the midfield rotation for the foreseeable future. His progress through rehabilitation will determine a more precise timetable for his eventual return.
Undergoes successful surgery
Ugarte (knee) underwent successful surgery to address the knee ligament injury he suffered at the World Cup with Uruguay, the club announced.
Analysis: Ugarte tore his ACL during Uruguay's 1-0 loss to Spain and was taken off on a stretcher, an injury expected to keep him out for around eight to nine months. He will now begin the rehabilitation phase of his recovery, closely managed by Manchester United's medical and performance staff. The midfielder had previously been linked with a summer exit, though that now appears unlikely given the extended recovery timeline.
