Manchester United defender Rafael Varane may miss the Premier League round 8 match against Leicester due to health problems, Sky Sports reports.

Varane was injured in the victory for France in the final of the League of Nations against Spain (2: 1), leaving the field at the end of the first half. Centerback pulled his thigh muscles while running and spent the rest of the fight on a bench with ice applied to the injury site.

In the near future, the 28-year-old player will return to the Manchester United location, where he will undergo medical examination and begin recovery.. Before the meeting with Leicester, scheduled for October 16, another defender is already in the Red Devils infirmary - Harry Maguire.

Varane joined Manchester United last summer from Real Madrid and became the main player of the team, having played seven matches in all tournaments.
