Manchester United's Patrick Dorgu is likely to be out for a number of weeks after injuring his hamstring during Sunday's 3-2 win at Arsenal.
The 21-year-old, who lashed in United's second goal from the edge of the box, limped off in the closing stages of the match with what interim head coach Michael Carrick hoped was cramp.
It is more significant than that but sources say the Denmark international is still being assessed and the timescale for his absence is not clear.
The in-form Dorgu, who joined United as a wing-back from Italian club Lecce 12 months ago, has excelled in an advanced left-sided attacking role under Carrick, and also scored in the previous win over Manchester City.
United have eight Premier League games before the March international break, when Dorgu is expected to be involved for Denmark in the World Cup play-offs.
Dorgu's absence could lead to a greater role for Matheus Cunha, who has started United's past two games on the substitutes' bench but scored the winner against Arsenal.

Stern test for Utd at the weekend. Fulham will park the bus and hit us on the counters.
The Low block mystery has to be solved. Hoping Carrick and Co can solve this issue and further build on the excellent start.

Carrick not ruling out Man Utd deadline day moves
Michael Carrick has not ruled out Manchester United adding to their squad before Monday's transfer deadline.
Former United head coach Ruben Amorim said last month he expected to bring someone in during the window.
However, the club's refusal to divert the £65m they had been willing to spend on long-term target Antoine Semenyo – who opted to join Manchester City from Bournemouth – was a source of frustration for the Portuguese.
United have been linked with a number of central midfield players, including former Wolves skipper Ruben Neves who now plays in Saudi Arabia for Al-Hilal.
After Carrick confirmed left-sided utility man Patrick Dorgu would be out for "a number of weeks" through injury, there have been suggestions the club might look to cover the Denmark international's absence.
Interim head coach Carrick was coy when asked specifically about the club's position as he spoke in a news conference to preview Sunday's Premier League encounter with Fulham.
But he did leave the door open for business being done.
"Never say never," Carrick said. "A lot can happen and situations can be thrown up.
"Sometimes it is in our control, sometimes not. I am pretty calm. We have shown what we are capable of as a team."
Joshua Zirkzee remains at the centre of interest as it remains to be seen if he returns to Italy, with Juventus considering whether to make a move for the former Bologna forward who cost United £36.5m 18 months ago.
Zirkzee has recovered from a minor injury and is available for the Fulham game.
"Josh has just been trying to work to get fit," said Carrick. "It was great to have him training with the group the first time and I am just looking forward to working with him."
Carrick accepts the issue of Bruno Fernandes' future is "on the agenda a little bit", with the United captain due to assess his plans at the end of the season.
However, Carrick said that situation would be dealt with "further down the line".
Don't underestimate Fulham - Carrick
Carrick has started his 17-match stint in charge until the end of the season in the best manner possible.
Victories against the Premier League's top two, Arsenal and Manchester City, have catapulted United into the top four for the first time this season.
However, sceptics argue they have beaten title contenders before and it is against the top flight's lesser lights that they tend to struggle.
Since late November, United have failed to beat Everton, West Ham, Bournemouth and Wolves at Old Trafford in league games. Three of those sides are in the bottom eight, while Everton had a man sent off after 13 minutes.
Marco Silva's in-form Fulham had the better of a 1-1 draw against United at Craven Cottage in August.
Fulham have also taken 17 points from their past eight games, only one of which has ended in defeat, and they would close to just one point back from United if they were to win this weekend.
Little wonder Carrick is taking nothing for granted.
"Marco has made Fulham into a really good team," he said.
"Just because we are at home, taking anything for granted is bang out of order."

Good result. The performance in general was poor. But at the end of the day its a results business, any sort of win we must accept.
How and why you thought Fulham would park the bus is anyone's guess. They are a very good system based team, and Silva does not set up to sit back. They are a very good team upto the last action.
Fans are still too giddy for me, I thought we didn't want to be a team who plays with 42% of the ball? What is the game model that Wilcox wanted? We are still miles away. We just need to keep playing this way, of the back foot- and try to get 5th. Then we can look at it again.
Chelsea and Liverpool are right behind us, and have better squads albeit with Europe.
We are a Luke Shaw Casemiro or Bruno injury away from struggling again.

Fulham are a mid block team. They made it very difficult. But atleast we found a way to win.
Yes, we need to consolidate our champions league position and come summer, further rebuild.

The one game a week is really playing in to Utd's hands.
Ive still got my reservations come next season if he gets job how he adapts in a 3 game week.
My preference would be Enrique or Ancelotti.

Utd back in the title race. Win your game hand and you're 10 points behind.
Šeško needs to start now. He hasn’t yet started under Carrick. This experiment of playing Mbeumo as the striker isn’t working. He is much better on the right.
I am really happy for Šeško. He has really good potential and hopefully he can be our long term striker.

Man Utd post profit but debt rises to £1.3bn
Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada says the benefits of the club's "off-pitch transformation" is being recognised through improved financial performance - even though the club's debt is now approaching £1.3bn.
United have posted an operating profit of £32.6m for the six months to 31 December 2025.
This contrasts sharply with a loss of £3.9m for the same period 12 months ago.
However, United also drew down an additional £25m on their rolling credit facility, which now stands at £295.7m.
With that, the legacy debt from the Glazer family takeover and additional 'liabilities' listed of more than £500m - the vast majority of which is outstanding transfer fee payments - the club owed a staggering £1.29bn at the end of last year.
United also paid out £13.9m in net finance costs, although this was much lower than the £37.6m from the previous year.
In August 2025 respected football finance blogger Swiss Ramble placed Everton and Tottenham above Manchester United in his debt league. However, both clubs have borrowed to pay for new stadiums.
United are yet to say how they intend to finance their new ground, which is likely to cost more than £2bn, although the figures show why the club are so keen to return to the Champions League after a two-year absence.
Total revenues for the period in question were £190.3m, with commercial revenue dropping 8% from the previous 12 months to £78.5m. However, wages also fell by 9% to £75.1m.
Since taking a 29% stake in the club two years ago, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has instigated major cost-cutting, including two rounds of redundancies that have cut 450 jobs.
In addition, many staff perks, including a paid-for staff canteen, have been axed.
United sources argue this has allowed more to be invested on the data side of the club.
There was no mention in the financial statement about the amount United paid to sack head coach Ruben Amorim as this took place after the reporting period.
"We are now seeing the positive financial impact of our off-pitch transformation materialise both in our costs and profitability," said Berrada.
"We continue to take a football-first approach and today's results demonstrate the underlying strength of our business as we continue to push for the best football results possible for our men's and women's teams."
