Manchester United could be without as many as seven players for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Fulham at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag’s side will be chasing a fifth consecutive win in the league when they host Marco Silva’s team. United’s upturn in form has seen them close the gap on the top four as they sit five points behind Aston Villa…….CONTINUE READING>>>>>>
The Red Devils will feel confident that they can earn another three points this weekend, but they will have to contend with more injury issues if they are to do so. Ten Hag confirmed on Friday that in-form striker Rasmus Hojlund will miss Saturday’s game against the Cottagers due to a muscular injury.
Worryingly for United is that their Danish striker, who has scored in six straight league games, will be out for around two to three weeks and is set to miss next month’s Manchester derby. Hojlund is not the only United striker who will be missing the game against Fulham with Anthony Martial continuing his rehabilitation from a groin complaint.
Elsewhere, Mason Mount and Tyrell Malacia remain out, although both are understood to be making progress with their recoveries from injury. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, meanwhile, also remains out having not featured since the 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on January 14. United have not detailed the specifics of his injury but it is not believed to be overly serious.
Left-back Luke Shaw was forced off in the closing stages of the first half against Luton last Sunday and now faces an ‘extended spell’ on the sidelines. Another key defender, Lisandro Martinez is currently sidelined with a knee injury and is unlikely to be in action again until early April.…….CONTINUE READING>>>>>>
