Man Utd star Alex Telles spotted on crutches and set to be out until September after picking up ankle injury in training
MANCHESTER UNITED left-back Alex Telles has been spotted on crutches as he continues to recover from his ankle injury.
The 28-year-old has been ruled out of the start of the season after picking up the knock during training last month.
Telles, who joined from Porto last summer, suffered the blow in training at Pennyhill Park prior to the Red Devils' 4-2 pre-season defeat against QPR.
And the Brazil international has now been snapped on crutches after leaving Victors Restaurant in Hale on Sunday evening.
The United defender was also pictured wearing a protective boot on his right foot after departing the establishment.
He will miss the Premier League clashes against Leeds, Southampton and Wolves this month with the player not expected to return until September.
Commenting on his injury last week, boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: "Unfortunately, it’s worse news on Alex Telles than we hoped for.
"His ankle injury is a little bit more severe than we hoped and he’ll be out for a little spell at least, the whole of August I would think.
"That is football. We’ve got kids wanting to play of course.

"Thanks for everyone's messages. You can be sure that I'll come back stronger and even more focused.
