Suffers torn ACL in World Cup
Ugarte suffered a torn ACL in Uruguay's 1-0 loss to Spain on Friday and will miss an extended period.
Analysis: Ugarte suffered the injury while tackling Pedri in Uruguay's final game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and was taken off on a stretcher. This was the worst possible outcome for the midfielder, who'll now face a recovery period of around eight to nine months at best. Ugarte had been linked with a summer move away from Manchester United, but the defensive midfielder isn't expected to change teams following this latest development. Ugarte's absence shouldn't have a big fantasy impact at club level, as he was a backup in midfield behind Kobbie Mainoo.
Taken off via stretcher
Ugarte would be taken off the field on a stretcher after suffering an apparent knee injury against Spain on Friday.
Analysis: Ugarte would go down with a non-contact injury Friday that will have all Uruguayan and Manchester United fans worried, as it would force the midfielder off the field on a stretcher. At first glance, it appears to be an injury to his knee, not an encouraging sign, seeing that it was non-contact. He will now be set for testing, as he hopes it is nothing major, with anything more than a strain likely to force him out of the start of the league season. That said, Uruguay finds itself down 1-0 at the time of his exit, likely to drop out of the World Cup in the group stage.
