A statement on the club’s website read: “We can confirm that Manchester United defender Eric Bailly suffered a medial ligament injury on his right knee during Sunday’s Premier League match against Chelsea at Old Trafford.“The problem means that the Ivory Coast international will not play for the Reds again this season, missing the remaining top-flight matches against Huddersfield Town and Cardiff City. “Furthermore, Bailly is also now unable to play in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations tournament.”Bailly had been making his first appearance since limping out of the Champions League clash with Paris St Germain on March 6 in what has been a frustrating season.He joins fellow centre-backs Phil Jones and Chris Smalling on the sidelines, with the English pair having both missed the Chelsea game due to fitness concerns.

He may have netted for the Reds against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup but hes still very much only a fringe player at Anfield. Several clubs, including Wolves are considering January offers but the main problem currently appears to be Liverpools willingness to sell. Already bemoaning injury issues, it seem manager Jurgen Klopp could keep the Belgian in case of emergencies on Merseyside.
