Raphael Varane, who suffered a leg injury less than a month before the World Cup in Qatar, left the pitch in tears after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw at Chelsea.
Varane, 29, was substituted by Victor Lindelof after he awkwardly tripped while attempting to attack Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The injury’s severity cannot yet be determined, according to United’s manager Erik ten Hag.
The Dutch tactician told BBC Sport, “We have to wait 24 hours before we know what [the injury] is.”
“I can understand (his reaction), we can all probably understand he will be emotional but he also has to wait, you don’t know.”
“He’s experienced but the medics have to do their job, have to make an assessment, set the right diagnosis and from there on come to the conclusion.”
Varane, whose career in England has been hindered by injuries since joining from Real Madrid in the summer of 2021, refused to be carried off the field on a stretcher instead choosing to walk the perimeter of the field while burying his face in his hands.
Jorginho’s late penalty at Stamford Bridge was negated by Casemiro’s late header, keeping United one point back of Chelsea and the top four in the Premier League.
Qatar will host the World Cup beginning on November 20.
