He said: “Luke has a hamstring issue. We will have to wait and see how long he will be out for.”
Erik ten Hag, manager of Manchester United, expressed his fear that Christian Eriksen would miss the remainder of the season after the midfielder sustained an ankle injury in an FA Cup match against Reading in January. However, Eriksen has made a remarkable recovery and will be back in the squad for Saturday’s Premier League game against Everton at Old Trafford. Ten Hag is delighted with the speedy recovery, but still angry about the tackle from Andy Carroll that caused the injury. The former Liverpool and Newcastle striker was not booked for the challenge, but was later sent off after receiving two yellow cards. Ten Hag commented, “I was so angry about that tackle. It was a really bad tackle and a bad injury. I thought we lost him for the whole season. He is ahead of schedule and we are very happy with that.” Additionally, Ten Hag revealed that England defender Luke Shaw would not be playing due to a hamstring issue. He stated, “We will have to wait and see how long he will be out for.” It is clear that Ten Hag is relieved that Eriksen has returned ahead of schedule, but still frustrated by the tackle that caused the injury.
