Man United sustained their first loss of 2024 in the form of a bitter 2-1 defeat to Fulham in the Premier League at the weekend.
However, the Red Devils can quickly get their confidence levels back with a win over Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup fifth-round clash on Wednesday (February 28).
With that being said, Man United are going to miss some key players for the game as injuries keep hampering Erik ten Hag’s plans.
Here is the latest updates on the injured Red Devils’ players and when they could potentially return to action.
The Brazilian midfielder suffered a head injury against Fulham that forced him to be taken off. Erik ten Hag was unsure if he had suffered a concussion, but if that’s the case, then Casemiro could be out for quite a while because of concussion protocols in football.
Potential return date: Unknown
Hojlund saw his incredible run of form disrupted after suffering an injury in training recently. He is likely to return after the March international fixtures.
Potential return date: Late March
Martinez’s second season at Old Trafford has been ruined with injuries, but he is hopeful of playing before the end of this campaign. He should be back for t the final stretch of the campaign.
Potential return date: April
Mount has not played any games for Man United in 2024 and has been out for quite a few months. However, Erik ten Hag recently hinted that he is closing in on recovery and should be back soon.
Potential return date: March
Wan-Bissaka suffered an unspecified injury in training recently that will keep him out for a few more weeks. He’s likely to miss the upcoming Manchester Derby, but will push to return soon after that.
Potential return date: Mid-March
Malacia has gone through the entire 2023/24 season without playing a single minute of football. But with Luke Shaw’s injury, he could find some game-time if able to regain full fitness and prove his quality in training.
Potential return date: March
Shaw suffered an injury in the win over Luton Town earlier this month and Man United have confirmed that it’ll keep him out for a few months. The Englishman has to work hard to be available for the final fixtures of the season and make himself available for the Euros.
Potential return date: April/May
Martial is into the final few months of his current contract and Man United are unlikely to give him another deal. The Frenchman has to work hard to at least be able to get some game-time before his contract expires.
