Daley Blind suffered a suspecte knee ligament injury during Holland’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Latvia on Sunday.
The 24-year-old left the pitch without a stretcher, after a challenge with Eduards Visnakovs in the first half and was replaced with Jordy Clasie.
“It doesn’t look good. It’s his medial ligament. It could be a strain, but it could also be a tear. So that’s a big blow,” Guus Hiddink told reporters.
Blind’s injury will come at a bad time for Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal. The Red Devils are going through an injury crisis and Blind stood in for Marcos Rojo, in their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace before the international break.
Michael Carrick, who played in Blind’s role, also pulled out of England’s squad with a minor groin problem. United travel to Arsenal next Saturday.
