Dorgu picked up the injury during Denmark's 2-0 victory over Wales in their UEFA Nations League encounter, forcing the player's early departure from the national team camp. The left-back's return to Old Trafford comes as Manchester United manage the player's fitness ahead of upcoming domestic and European commitments.
The 20-year-old, who recently joined United from Serie A side Lecce, was representing Denmark in their Nations League campaign when the setback occurred. His premature exit from international duty reflects the club's cautious approach to managing player injuries during the fixture-congested season.
United have not yet disclosed the extent of Dorgu's injury or his expected timeline for return to competitive action. The club medical team will conduct assessments to determine his availability for forthcoming matches as domestic and continental schedules intensify.
