Manchester United Manager Erik ten Hag Concerned About Injuries Ahead of Chelsea Clash
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed his concern about the spate of muscle injuries affecting his team ahead of their upcoming fixtures. Defenders Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof will be sidelined for a month with calf and hamstring issues, adding to the team’s woes as Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, and Anthony Martial remain long-term absentees.
In addition, reserve goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is also a doubt for the upcoming game against Chelsea. The lack of options in the backline due to injuries has posed a challenge for the squad, although the return of Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans, and Harry Maguire to training is a positive sign.
Ten Hag mentioned that the team has an idea of what is causing the injuries and they will work on addressing it internally. The manager pointed to the intensity and schedule of the Premier League as factors contributing to the players’ muscle issues.
Manchester United are set to face tough opponents in their upcoming fixtures, including Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bournemouth. With key players out injured, the team will need to rely on their remaining fit squad members to step up and deliver results on the pitch.
Despite the setbacks, ten Hag remains optimistic about the team’s prospects and is looking forward to the challenge of facing top opposition in the Premier League. Forever Sports Online will provide updates on the team’s injury situation and performance in the upcoming matches.
