Joshua Zirkzee, a forward for Manchester United, will miss the rest of the season owing to a serious hamstring injury, according to manager Ruben Amorim.
The injury was sustained by Joshua Zirkzee during last weekend’s heartbreaking 4-1 loss to Newcastle United in the English Premier League. As he was helped off the field, his obvious distress demonstrated how serious his condition was.
“He is out for the season,” Amorim stated at his news conference prior to the pivotal second leg of the Europa League quarterfinal matchup against Lyon. Now is the time to get him ready for the upcoming season.
He emphasized the progress the Nigerian-born Netherlands international had been making in various aspects of his game, noting, “It’s tough for any player to face such a setback, especially when they are improving. Going forward, he must concentrate on getting better.
Since Joshua Zirkzee joined Manchester United from Bologna for a transfer fee worth €42.50 million on July 14, 2024, he has played 48 games in all competitions in which he scored 7 goals and provided three assists.
Zirkzee’s contract with the Red Devils is expected to expire on June 30, 2029 according to the transfer market website, which means that the 23-year-old Dutch forward still has four years to spend at Old Trafford.
