Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed that he
expects Eric Bailly to miss up to three months' worth of action as he requires
surgery on an ankle injury.
But he has not featured since the start of November due to a
problematic ankle and that now looks set to ruin much of the remainder of his
season.
Mourinho revealed on Thursday that the centre-back's injury
is serious and is likely to require surgery, something the Portuguese has now
been able to confirm.
Speaking to MUTV ahead of the Red Devils' trip to West Brom
on Sunday, Mourinho said: "He goes to surgery, the decision is made.
"I don't say [he's out] for the rest of the season, but
it's for the next two or three months."
Despite the blow of losing Bailly for such a prolonged
period, Mourinho is at least able to rely on a number of other options, with
Chris Smalling, Jones, Victor Lindelof, Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo and Axel
Tuanzebe all capable of playing at centre-back.
