Manchester United defender Leny Yoro will return to action in about three months following successful surgery on his foot injury, the Premier League club said on Monday.

Frenchman Yoro was substituted early in a pre-season friendly against Arsenal last week in Los Angeles along with forward Rasmus Hojlund, who will be out for six weeks with a hamstring injury.

“Yoro’s rehabilitation starts now and we look forward to the 18-year-old returning to fitness in around three months,” United said in a statement.
