Erik ten Hag Provides Injury Update: Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui Fit for Carabao Cup, but Luke Shaw’s Return Delayed
Erik ten Hag has provided a positive update on Manchester United’s injury situation, with Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui all available for selection despite recent concerns.
Their injuries from the Southampton match appear to be less serious than initially feared, with Ten Hag confirming they are fit for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup tie against Barnsley.
However, Luke Shaw remains sidelined, continuing his extended absence since February. Ten Hag indicated that while Shaw is making progress, there is no definitive timeline for his return, reflecting the uncertainties that can affect recovery.
Additionally, Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount, and Tyrell Malacia are also still out, with Hojlund yet to make his season debut due to a hamstring injury.
Ten Hag emphasized the importance of squad rotation due to the demanding fixture schedule, which will help manage player fitness and ensure the team remains competitive across all competitions.
