It was ten minutes after Marcus Berg nodded in 1-0 after a cluttered situation that de Gea limped off with pain in the groin. He felt the problems already at break and received treatment.
"He had groin pain and was treated during the break but wanted to continue playing," Spanish federation captain Robert Moreno told British Metro.
- He assured that everything was okay but in the end he could not continue.
de Gea was assisted by the plan by two leaders and had rather big problems. First he sat down in his penalty area for a while. The injury occurred when de Gea kicked the ball out in connection with a kick.
United joins the Premier League as twelve with nine points recorded in eight games. The Liverpool series leader has started with eight straight wins.
