Patrick Dorgu has been sent home from international duty with Denmark after failing a series of physical tests, adding to Manchester United's injury concerns. The 22-year-old full-back will not feature in the Nations League matches against Portugal and Norway.
Failed tests force early return
Dorgu had initially withdrawn from the squad due to a hamstring injury before deciding to link up with his international team-mates. However, after undergoing medical assessments, Denmark confirmed he would not be fit in time for the fixtures.
A statement released on Friday read: "Dorgu ruled out of the squad. Patrick Dorgu has undergone a series of tests ahead of the matches, but unfortunately will not be fully fit in time."
Return to Manchester
The versatile defender has been sent straight back to Manchester to continue his recovery. His absence is a further blow for Manchester United, who are already dealing with several injury issues this season.
Denmark will now prepare for their upcoming matches without Dorgu, who will aim to regain full fitness back at his club.
