Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick provided an update on Fernandes' status after the incident, offering some peace of mind to fans.
“[Fernandes] was training with the team. Obviously the accident happened on the way to [the Manchester United training center in] Carrington. But as far as I know, nobody was injured. He trained with the team and he was okay, and that's why I think he will also be okay for [Tuesday].”
Manchester United will take on Liverpool Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. EST in what will be a crucial clash for both clubs. A surprise win on the road for Ralf Rangnick's side could see the team claw back into Champions League qualification, and having Fernandes available will be critical.
