Carlos Baleba injured, set to miss several weeks for Manchester United
Summary

Carlos Baleba, signed for £70m by Manchester United this summer, is facing an extended absence due to a hamstring injury. The injury occurred during United’s comeback win against Roma on November 4, leaving Baleba in visible distress as he exited the field. Manager Michael Carrick indicated that Baleba will be sidelined for 'a number of weeks,' impacting his availability for key matches, including the trip to Anfield on November 22 and a Champions League clash with Sporting CP shortly thereafter. Baleba's missed time complicates United's midfield plans, especially with December featuring a demanding schedule of seven fixtures.
