Bailly: Oliseh urges fans to pray for Manchester United star after latest injury

Former Juventus and Borussia Dortmund midfielder Sunday Oliseh has urged football fans to pray for Manchester United defender Eric Bailly, who suffered a head injury on Sunday.

The Ivory Coast international, who made his sixth start for the Red Devils this season, only lasted for 45 minutes in their 3-1 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea at Wembley.

The centre-back was stretchered off with a neck brace after a head clash with his teammate Harry Maguire and was subsequently replaced by Anthony Martial.

Strikes from Olivier Giroud, Mason Mount and an own goal from Maguire rendered Bruno Fernandes’ late effort a consolation and saw the Blues progress to the final of the competition.
