Manchester United secured a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in a friendly match on July 25, 2019, but the victory came at a cost for the Red Devils.
Eric Bailly, a 25-year-old defender, was stretchered off the field in the 46th minute after suffering a knee injury. The incident occurred when Spurs' ace Son Heung-min attempted to take a shot but feigned a move, leaving Bailly in a twist and causing him to hurt his knee.
Bailly had only arrived on the field eight minutes prior to the injury, coming on as a half-time substitute. He was replaced by Chris Smalling, who took his place in the game.
This is not the first time Bailly has suffered an injury issue during his time at Old Trafford. The incident has raised concerns about the defender's fitness and availability for upcoming matches.
Simon Peach captured the moment on camera, showing Bailly being taken off the field on a stretcher.
