Patrick Dorgu withdrawn injured in Denmark's UEFA Nations League win over Wales
Patrick Dorgu was substituted with an injury while playing for Denmark against Wales in a UEFA Nations League match on September 27, 2026, and Denmark won 2-0.
The incident compounds injury concerns for Manchester United after Jorge Jesus revealed Bruno Fernandes was doubtful for Portugal’s match against Norway because of an injury. Jesus said Fernandes had been playing through discomfort but that the problem did not seem too significant, a detail underlined in reporting on United’s fitness issues. The club’s problems during the international window have already affected squad planning at Old Trafford, with Michael Carrick described as managing a thin roster going into October.
The 21-year-old left-sided attacker went down a few minutes before being withdrawn and was unable to continue. Dorgu has been in and out of the Denmark side in recent times and, according to the report, had played the full 90 minutes of a Premier League match against Manchester City. Medical details from the match were not immediately provided by Denmark.
Mohamed Daramy, an attacker for Reims, came on to replace Dorgu, who was seen hobbling straight down the tunnel to the dressing room. A social-media post stated, "A non-contact hamstring injury has forced Patrick Dorgu from the field for Denmark…Look away Manchester United fans 😬". That report has been circulated alongside images of Dorgu leaving the pitch.
The precise kind and extent of the injury have not been formally verified, and Denmark manager Brian Riemer is anticipated to give the media an update on Dorgu’s condition. The available information so far does not include an official diagnosis from Denmark’s medical team.
Riemer’s forthcoming update will clarify whether Dorgu faces a short absence, a development the report says could present another setback for Carrick as he navigates a depleted squad going into October. The immediate next step is the manager’s media briefing and any subsequent medical confirmation of the injury.
