Manchester United have confirmed that forward Matheus Cunha was involved in an accident during training, raising questions about his availability for Monday evening’s Premier League clash against Everton at Old Trafford.
The announcement comes after a weekend of action in the Premier League, including Chelsea’s controversial 2-0 win over Burnley and Liverpool’s 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Cunha, who joined United from Wolverhampton Wanderers in June for £62.5 million, has played a key role in his new team across 11 appearances this season.
Despite scoring only once, the Brazilian has been an influential figure in United’s attacking setup.
The training accident has prompted local authorities to confirm that Cunha will miss a public appearance at Altrincham’s Christmas Lights Switch on for medical reasons, but details about the accident itself remain unclear.
Cunha’s Training Incident Puts Everton Appearance in Doubt
The 26-year-old had recently featured in Brazil’s 1-1 friendly draw with Tunisia and appeared untroubled during international duty.
However, the incident reportedly occurred during Manchester United’s preparations ahead of their home fixture against Everton.
Images from the training session showed a routine session, though several players, including Benjamin Sesko, Harry Maguire, and Kobbie Mainoo, were absent.
United will now monitor Cunha closely as they approach the match, with the forward’s availability uncertain until further updates are provided.
The club and fans alike will be hoping that the incident is minor and that he can return to action promptly.
