Latest United Injury News And Expected Return Dates: Updates On Marcus Rashford And 8 Other Players
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford will face a late fitness test ahead of the game against Bournemouth this weekend.
The forward limped off midway through the second half of the 2-2 draw versus Liverpool last Sunday but manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed he has now returned to full training.
Expected Return Date – Saturday 13th April v Bournemouth
Scott McTominay is a major doubt to face the Cherries as he is still not training due to a knee problem.
Ten Hag says the Scotland international is fighting a losing battle to make the matchday squad for Saturday’s fixture.
Expected Return Date – Sunday 21st April v Coventry City (FA Cup)
Jonny Evans is also unavailable for the Bournemouth fixture with what the club have described as a “short-term” muscular injury.
It does suggest that the 36-year-old won’t be out for very long, and he could return to the team for the trip to Wembley next weekend.
Expected Return Date – Sunday 21st April v Coventry City (FA Cup)
Raphael Varane is set to be sidelined for the next few weeks with a muscular problem he sustained in the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea.
Lisandro Martinez (calf) and Victor Lindelof (thigh) are expected to spend similar periods of time on the treatment table.
Expected Return Date – Monday 6th May v Crystal Palace
Tyrell Malacia is very unlikely to play for United before the end of the season due to complications with a knee injury.
The defender underwent surgery last summer and he hasn’t managed to play a single minute this campaign due to a number of setbacks in his recovery.
Expected Return Date – Next Season
Ten Hag says he is still hopeful that Luke Shaw will play again this season. The left-back suffered a recurrence of a leg injury versus Luton Town in February.
Anthony Martial remains in rehabilitation after groin surgery. The forward went under the knife in late January and he was estimated to be sidelined for ten weeks.
