Erik ten Hag has revealed Manchester United have suffered yet another injury blow and also provided an update on Rasmus Hojlund
Manchester United are back in Premier League action on Saturday afternoon as they take on Everton at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag’s side will be looking to get back to winning ways after a disappointing 3-1 defeat in the Manchester derby last weekend.
They will be confident against relegation-threatened Everton, who Ten Hag has won all three games against since taking over at United.
However, United have suffered another injury setback as youngster Omari Forson will miss the match with a knock.
There was at least some good news, though, as Ten Hag gave his team news update.
Manchester United team news v Everton
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Ten Hag said: “That’s the good news, they [Rashford and Evans] recovered after the derby, so they are available.
“The rest is the same squad apart from Omari Forson. He dropped out, he has an injury.”
Additionally, Premier League Player of the Month Rasmus Hojlund, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka remain sidelined but Ten Hag is hopeful they will return for the upcoming FA Cup tie with Liverpool.
He said: “Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka I expect them to be available for our game against Liverpool. Hojlund as well.”
Another player added to the injury list
United have been ravaged by injuries all season long and currently have nine players unavailable.
Forward Forson has joined Hojlund, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Lisandro Martinez, and Tyrell Malacia on the sidelines.
But there is good news at least that Marcus Rashford and Jonny Evans can play.
Both had to be taken off as they played in the derby while not being 100 per cent fit but United need as many bodies as they can get.
Rashford will be looking to build upon the incredible goal he scored at the Etihad Stadium and scored against Everton earlier this season.
