Several Manchester United players are currently on international duty, but Erik ten Hag will be anxious to see Marcus Rashford and Andre Onana replaced.
Manchester United appear to have suffered yet another injury setback, as both Marcus Rashford and Andre Onana have been called up for international service.
Rashford was injured after colliding with Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold during England’s 2-0 Euro 2024 qualifying win over Malta at home. around the pitch at Wembley, he got medical attention before being replaced by Cole Palmer around the hour mark.
Cameroon’s World Cup qualification match against Mauritius saw Onana start in goal. The Reds shot-stopper played 81 minutes before leaving with an injury, the nature of which is unknown.
Gareth Southgate and Cameroon manager Rigobert Song have yet to comment on their respective players’ injuries. Both are expected to deliver an update prior to their second game of the November international break.
United have had a difficult few months in terms of injuries, with Erik ten Hag losing several of his normal first-team options. Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen of Denmark were both forced to withdraw from international action after injuring their fingers in the 1-0 win over Luton Town before the break.
Eriksen is anticipated to miss the rest of the month due to a knee injury, while Hojlund is hoping to be healthy for the trip to Everton next weekend after suffering a slight hamstring strain. Jonny Evans, Casemiro, and Luke Shaw are also recovering from muscle injuries, while Lisandro Martinez will be sidelined until the new year due to a recurrence of a foot injury suffered last season.
United have another week before returning to Premier League action against Everton, who were docked 10 points on Friday after being found guilty of violating the Premier League’s Financial Fair Play laws. Ten Hag’s team then travels to Galatasaray in the Champions League midweek, where they realistically need to win to keep their prospects of progressing alive.
