Manchester United manager Michael Carrick provides an update on Carlos Baleba’s fitness ahead of the club’s match against Fulham. Baleba has not played for United since joining from Brighton in the summer, meaning he is still waiting to make his debut.
Both reports say Baleba’s absence is linked to an ankle ligament injury sustained during pre-season. As a result, he remains unavailable to take part in United’s recent preparations and matchday squads.
While the outlets focus on the same underlying issue—Baleba’s injury and lack of appearances—coverage is centered on Carrick’s comments in the build-up to the specific fixture against Fulham. The reports do not indicate a return date, instead emphasizing that Baleba is still working through recovery and has yet to feature for the club in competitive play.
