the most recent information on injuries to Manchester United ahead of their Premier League matchup with Fulham.
Even though Manchester United won their difficult matchup against Luton Town on the road this past weekend, it wasn’t without a cost. Luke Shaw had to leave the game due to an injury for the second straight game, adding to a growing list of concerns about his health before the team’s Premier League encounter with Fulham on Saturday afternoon.
The defence in particular is once again a cause for concern as up to six first-team players are expected to miss the match against the Cottagers. Below, we’ve compiled the most recent information on injuries, along with our best guesses for when they might heal.
After the England international hobbled off in the first half of the match against Luton, having been replaced due to a knock against Aston Villa in the previous game, Erik ten Hag was unable to provide a positive evaluation of Shaw’s fitness, only stating that “it doesn’t look great.”
As of Wednesday afternoon, the club had not provided any additional information, so we have no idea how probable it is that Shaw will play against Fulham or even the precise severity of the problem. United will have to wait anxiously to find out if he is healthy enough to play.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
The right-back, formerly of Crystal Palace, has struggled with injuries this season and suffered another setback prior to the FA Cup victory.
suffering a leg injury during the match against Newport County, and he has subsequently experienced another setback after hurting his thigh during practice just before the Villa match.
Ten Hag informed reporters on Friday that Wan-Bissaka would not play against Fulham and would not return for “a few weeks” because of a new injury. Although a specific return date has not been provided, he ought to be back in action by the end of next month.
