Mount was substituted just 14 minutes into last weekend’s Manchester derby and the former England international has completed 90 minutes just once during his 18 months at the club. Amorim confirmed that Mount will see a specialist after his latest set-back in an attempt to get to the bottom of his fitness troubles but said he will support the 25-year-old through his recovery.
“Several weeks. I don’t know the exact date, but it’s going to be long,” Amorim said after the 4-3 defeat to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. “And that’s it. It’s part of football. “What I can do is to help Mace, to teach him how to play our game when he’s recovering, try to use that time for him to think about different things.”.
Amorim suggested that United’s busy fixture schedule explained why Mount suffered another injury so soon into his comeback and said it is harder to recover fitness while there are so many matches. Defender Victor Lindelof was forced off during the first half against Tottenham and Amorim lamented that he does not have the time on the training ground to get his players up to speed before they return.
