Manchester United Injury Update: Key Players and Their Expected Return Dates
Injury troubles are already affecting Manchester United early in the season, with several key players sidelined.
Despite these challenges, Erik ten Hag’s squad managed to secure a win against Fulham on Friday, even without four crucial players. Here’s the latest on United’s injury situation and potential return dates.
Victor Lindelof
Victor Lindelof was forced out of a pre-season friendly against Liverpool due to what was initially believed to be a minor issue.
However, recent updates suggest that the injury is more serious, with Lindelof’s wife sharing a photo of him on crutches. The Swedish defender’s return is uncertain, and there are concerns he may be out for an extended period.
- Potential return date: Unknown
Rasmus Hojlund
Rasmus Hojlund suffered a hamstring injury during a pre-season match against Arsenal in the United States. The Danish forward is expected to return after the upcoming international break.
- Potential return date: September 14, vs Southampton
Luke Shaw
Luke Shaw, who has not featured for United since February, made a comeback during England’s Euro 2024 campaign. However, a calf injury sustained in training means the left-back will miss the first few weeks of the Premier League season.
- Potential return date: September 14, vs Southampton
Leny Yoro
Summer signing Leny Yoro made an impressive debut in pre-season but suffered a foot injury in a friendly against Arsenal. The young defender has since undergone surgery and is expected to be out for around three months.
- Potential return date: October 2024
Tyrell Malacia
Tyrell Malacia has been out of action since May 2023. Erik ten Hag recently provided a positive update, indicating that Malacia is progressing in his rehabilitation and could return to team training soon.
- Potential return date: September/October 2024
With these players on the road to recovery, Manchester United will hope to have a stronger squad available as the season progresses.
