Michael Carrick provides injury update on Carlos Baleba's hamstring issue
Summary

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has announced that Carlos Baleba is expected to be sidelined for several weeks due to a hamstring injury. Baleba was substituted shortly after halftime during United's comeback win against AS Roma. Having already missed the start of the season due to an ankle injury, this latest setback will rule him out for upcoming Premier League matches against Aston Villa and Liverpool, as well as the Champions League fixture against Sporting Lisbon. Carrick indicated the midfielder's return would take longer than the upcoming international break.
