Sad news: Manchester United’s Eriksen and Hojlund face spells out

Due to a knee injury, Eriksen won’t be available until mid-December, and Hojlund won’t likely be able to make the trip to Everton on November 26.

Manchester United team mates, Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen will spend time on the sidelines after being left out of Denmark’s squad for the forthcoming Euro 2024 qualifying matches.

Injury concerns to Eriksen, the midfielder, and Hojlund, the forward, marred United’s 1-0 victory over Luton before the international break. Both players hobbled off the field on Saturday at Old Trafford.

Due to a knee issue, United had to accept that Eriksen wouldn’t be available for Denmark until the middle of December. As a result, they withdrew from their games against Slovenia on Friday and Northern Ireland the following Monday.

Hojlund’s muscle strain seems to be less severe and, while he is likely to miss the visit to Everton on 26 November, United are keeping their fingers crossed their summer signing will be available for a crucial trip to Galatasaray in the Champions League three days later.

A statement on Manchester United’s website said: “Christian has a knee injury that is set to keep him out for around a month, while striker Rasmus suffered a muscle strain. It is hoped he will return before the end of November.”

Along with Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Jonny Evans, and Casemiro on a long list of injured players, the Danish pair also adds Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who was sick and missed the Hatters game.
