Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has suffered a knee injury that will keep him out of action until the end of the year, according to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The 25-year-old Ivory Coast international hurt his knee in Manchester United's 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur in the International Champions Cup on July 25, 2019.
"He's had an operation," Solskjaer said. "He'll miss the best part of four or five months. Hopefully, we'll get him back around about Christmas."
Manchester United's next match is against AC Milan on August 3, 2019, in the ICC, their last pre-season encounter before facing Chelsea in their Premier League opener on August 11, 2019.
