Cheers to your overseas vacation! supporters of Manchester United. Although the Red Devils are having a difficult start to the season, perhaps after this international break they will perform better for the sake of the team and their supporters. The next match is against Southampton FC, where we’ll see if Erik ten Hag can get any of his injured players back to full fitness and, if so, which players. Here are some updates on Mason Mount, Tyrell Malacia, Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Rasmus Hojlund, and Victor Lindelof.
So let’s get started without further ado. For more information about a particular player, click on their highlighted names.The Danish striker injured his hamstring during the friendly loss to Arsenal in Los Angeles in July, so we’re still waiting on his season debut. He might play a part in this, although a little one off the bench. Or we may have to wait for it for an additional week.Is there anyone more “often-injured” than this man? Is anyone shocked that his season started later than expected? Will he be ready to play here after healing completely from his calf, shin, and heel issues?Similar to Hojlund, he was injured during the summer’s friendly match against Arsenal FC at L.A.’s Sofi Stadium. Yoro’s ankle injury won’t allow him to play until November, but at least he made the Europe League roster, so that’s something!He got added to the Europe League squad alongside Yoro, which is encouraging for a guy who hasn’t played football of any kind since June 2023! He will soon be returning from knee surgery. He has a recent hamstring/thigh injury; I’m not sure when he’ll be back, but it won’t be here. October, perhaps?
