Players Missing in Action Spoil the Party!…
The much-anticipated Europa League slugfest between the Red Devils of Manchester United and the indomitable Lyons of Lyon seems to have morphed into a magical disappearing act! It’s like watching a sci-fi movie where characters pop in and out of reality like soda bubbles in a lukewarm cola. Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, might need a magic wand as he’s leaving six of his finest knights back in the Old Trafford castle. You’d almost call it the case of the vanishing defenders! After the Nottingham Forest fiasco, Matthijs de Ligt seems to have been gently escorted by the injury fairies back to the infirmary. And yes, we’ll miss the likes of Ayden Heaven, Lisandro Martinez, and Jonny Evans doing their ballet moves on the pitch — they too are nursing their boo-boos back home.
Meanwhile, Lyon is dancing to the same tune but with their own twist. The daring duo of Ernest Nuamah and Malick Fofana decided to have a ‘break-a-leg’ moment, taking a time-out from kicking balls to comparing hospital stories. Fofana, with stats that could scare the football pants off any opponent, is just warming the bench as he doodles comeback plans for later. As Lyon gasps in horror, their winged warriors are left fluttering on the sidelines.
