Bailly leaves match vs. Crystal Palace with apparent leg injury

Manchester United defender Eric Bailly called for a substitution in the second half of Wednesday's visit to Crystal Palace, cutting short his first Premier League start since October due to an apparent leg injury.

Matteo Darmian replaced the Cote d'Ivoire international in the 52nd minute.

The 22-year-old appeared to take a pair of knocks to his left knee in the first half Wednesday at Selhurst Park, and although he pushed through the initial 45 minutes, he limped off shortly after the interval.

Bailly only returned to United's Premier League XI after missing nearly two months with a right knee injury.
