Ralf Rangnick reveals Jadon Sancho could miss the rest of the season
Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick has revealed Jadon Sancho could miss the rest of the season with tonsillitis.
Sancho missed Thursday’s draw with Chelsea at Old Trafford after falling ill, and Rangnick fears the problem could keep the £73million star out of action for another three weeks beyond United’s final game at Crystal Palace on May 22.
Speaking ahead of United’s final home game against Brentford on Monday night, Rangnick said: “As it seems, Jadon might be out for the rest of the season with his tonsillitis so he will most likely be not available against Brentford.
“Since the last game is another three weeks to go against Crystal Palace, but for the next two games I think it is unlikely.”
Asked about the possibility of surgery, he replied: “It could happen. He definitely has an inflammation on his tonsils and has also had some high temperatures, that’s why he was not available for Chelsea and he almost certainly won’t be available for the next couple of games.
“So, hopefully, they can get hold of that inflammation and if the tonsils have to be taken out and removed, this can happen at the end of the season.”
