United's medical staff have confirmed that Rodrigo Possebon has not suffered a break after being stretchered off against Middlesbrough on Tuesday night.
The Brazilian midfielder was in agony following a challenge from Middlesbrough captain Emanuel Pogatetz after an hour of the Reds' 3-1 Carling Cup third round win.
A club spokesperson told ManUtd.com on Wednesday morning: "We can confirm that Rodrigo did not suffer a break to his right leg. He was kept in hospital overnight for observation and to assess whether there was any ligament damage to his knee."
At the moment, however, everyone at the club is just pleased to hear that Possebon's injury is not as serious as it first appeared to be.
Sir Alex said after the match: "For the kid to make his first start and get an injury like that is pretty horrendous. I think everyone was numb for about ten minutes afterwards and it killed our momentum a little bit. I saw a few replays of it, but I don't want to see it again. It was just terrible."
Despite being initially disappointed by Pogatetz's reaction to his subsequent red card, but he praised Boro boss Gareth Southgate for his attitude after the game.
"I couldn't understand it [his reaction], he should have walked straight off," said the manager. "One of the guys on their bench was screaming that it was never a sending off and there was nothing wrong with Rodrigo. Middlesbrough have apologised though. Gareth Southgate was very good. He understood the gravity of it and was very apologetic."
สรุปได้ว่า อาการบาดเจ็บของโพสเซบอนไม่ร้ายแรงเท่าที่คาดไว้ในตอนแรก ตอนนี้ก็ยังต้องคอยดูอาการว่าจะมีผลกระทบอื่นๆหรือไม่ แต่ที่แน่ๆขาไม่หักครับ ตอนท้ายป๋ากี้ก็ออกมาต่อว่าโพกาเตซที่เล่นรุนแรงขนาดนี้ และยังแสดงอาการไม่พอใจที่โดนใบแดง แต่ก็กล่าวชมเซาท์เกคที่ออกมากล่าวขอโทษ
