Manchester United have confirmed that defender Diogo Dalot will miss this week's Premier League match against Bournemouth and is likely to miss the rest of the season due to a calf muscle injury.

At the pre-match press conference, coach Ruben Amorim revealed that although Dalot is working hard to recover, there is still uncertainty about his recovery. When asked by reporters whether Dalot will be out for the season due to injury, Amorim said: "It is possible that he will be out for the season, but we are not sure yet. We will evaluate it every week."

"Dalot is training very hard and recovers very well, so we'll see. He's played a lot of games in a row, almost every time he started. Although we tried our best to rotate, some players did play too much."

“Dalot had to take on more responsibility in order to protect other players who were not ready, but he eventually felt the discomfort in his calf.

The importance of the 26-year-old Dalot this season is self-evident. He has played 51 times in all competitions, tied with Ganacho for the most appearances for Manchester United. What is more worth mentioning is that Dalot has started 49 games this season, also the highest in the team, reflecting his key position in the team's tactical system.

Under the wingback system deployed by Amorim, Dalot gradually released more offensive potential, especially after returning to the more familiar right side. Whether it is offense or defense, Dalot has demonstrated comprehensive capabilities on both ends.

Manchester United currently has 38 points in the Premier League, ranking 14th. I hope Dalot can recover smoothly and return to the field as soon as possible to continue to contribute to the team's important battle at the end of the season.
