Fred injures ankle at Brazil training session

Sports Desk: Manchester United-bound Fred has been injured while training with Brazil ahead of their World Cup warm-up game against Austria on Sunday.

Fred suffered a "trauma in his ankle" while training with Brazil on Thursday, national team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar has said.

"Tomorrow we watch to see what happens and then decide if we need to do any exams or not but at the moment it is too early to say anything about him," the doctor added.

Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred passed a medical with United on Monday ahead of a proposed £50m-plus move to Old Trafford.

Brazil have been training at Tottenham's training ground and Fred was caught on the ankle by international team-mate Casemiro on Thursday.

The 24-year-old subsequently required ice treatment and had to sit out the remainder of the session.
