Two key figures in United's team of doctors are leaving, with head of sports medicine Gary O'Driscoll and first-team doctor Jim Moxon both handing over their resignations to bid farewell to the Reds after a brief stint at the Reds.
Odris Cole is from Arsenal and joined Manchester United 18 months ago; Mockson, on the other hand, joined the club from Liverpool two years ago and is now said to be intending to join another Premier League team, who has not yet been officially announced, and according to rumours, it could be the Seagulls Brighton.
Among them, Odris Cole has been with Arsenal for 14 years, and he has also served on the Premier League Doctors' Association and the FA Medical Council, as well as the Irish Rugby Union and England Rugby Team Doctors. Although he has worked for the Gunners for many years, he is a self-proclaimed lifelong Manchester United fan!
Odris Cole has joined Manchester United and has been touted as a change in the club's team medical department. Sadly, the actual results are not ideal on the surface, with Manchester United suffering nearly 70 injuries last season and this season is also not optimistic, with as many as 12 players missing recently, and 10 currently injured, including Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Kobe Mayno and Mason Mount.
But Odris Cole himself and Manchester United have flatly denied that he is to blame for the wounded manship, stressing that he has implemented changes to the team's medical department, and that he has now completed his task and laid the groundwork for further improvements, so he chose to leave, according to The Telegraph, which has nothing to do with a new wave of 200 redundancies by owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The resignation of bald team doctor Mockson at the same time is just a coincidence, and it has nothing to do with the layoffs, nor is it related to the extensive injuries in the last two seasons. However, the Dutch centre-back had to leave the pitch three times to treat his wounds, one of which caused the Reds to concede a goal, and fans angrily denounced the team doctor as inferior to a veterinarian when De Ligt suffered a bleeding head injury and Mokksen and two other colleagues did not bandage him.
According to the Daily Mirror, the two medical staff will continue in their current roles during the club's search for replacements, ensuring the squad is not affected. However, Rajue has recently stated publicly that one of the reasons for the struggle and difficulty of finding a win since coach Ruben Amorim took charge is that there are too many injuries.
The Manchester Evening News reports that 11 players were absent as Manchester United prepare for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final clash with Real Sociedad on Wednesday morning. Defender Ugarte has returned to training from injury, but centre-back Leni Yoro will be sidelined with an injury sustained in the last round of the Premier League.
Jugat missed Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Arsenal at the weekend, but he took part in training on Wednesday morning and will be back from injury. Yoro was substituted at half-time against Arsenal on Sunday and is not expected to play again until the end of the international break in March. Maguire, who was injured in the FA Cup knockout of Fulham, will not be able to play in the Europa League, but he is expected to be back for Sunday against his former club Leicester City.
£60million Mr Mount also returned to training on Wednesday after being out for three months with a hamstring injury but is unlikely to play in any of these games this week. 'Mason [Mount] is back too soon," Amorim said, 'Leni [Yoro] is out and Harry [Maguire] won't be able to play but I hope he can play on Sunday. Apart from Manuel [Ugarte], who will be in the squad, I don't think there's anyone else to come back into."
