MANCHESTER UNITED is awaiting word on whether Marcus Rashford will be added to the list of injured players, along with Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund.
Hojlund, a striker, will be sidelined for six weeks due to a hamstring injury.
Marcus Rashford picked up an injury against Real Betis
The forward hobbled off the pitch in the US
Manager Erik Ten Hag received terrible news when it was revealed that Leny Yoro, the £52 million acquisition, had a metatarsal injury that would sideline him for six months.
Rashford hobbled off the pitch during Wednesday night’s 3-2 victory of Manchester United over Real Betis in San Diego.
On the hour, Sergi Altimera put a hefty challenge on the United forward that should have resulted in a penalty kick when he stamped on his ankle.
Beaten to the ground, Rashford hobbled away and twice stopped, hunching over in agony, as he made his way to the tunnel.
In the second half, Antony, a winger, also encountered an issue. He entered the game in the 62nd minute and left it again in the 86th.
Following the match, Rashford was seen signing autographs for fans.
United’s worries will be allayed because the forward was moving around without assistance and had considerably less of a limp than he had just after the challenge.
Shortly after scoring the first goal in Manchester United’s 2-1 loss to Arsenal in Los Angeles on Saturday, Hojlund was carted off with an injury.
To cap up United’s US Tour, Yoro also hobbled off in the opening frame of that match.
Just the day before, Ten Hag had expressed his belief that United’s injury jinx from last season would finally be over.
Ten Hag feels that the team’s record-low eighth-place finish in the Premier League previous season was a result of the 66 injuries and illnesses that the team experienced.
After struggling in his debut season, scoring just 16 goals, 10 of which came in the Premier League, Hojlund, who cost £72 million to acquire from Atalanta, was expecting to get off to a quick start this year.
Manager Erik ten Hag even made the decision not to start the Dane in the FA Cup Final at the end of the season.
Currently, Yoro will miss nine Premier League games whereas he will miss the first four.
Yoro’s injury has prevented him from using crutches or wearing a protective cast, but he has insisted on continuing to play on the US Tour in order to get to know his new teammates.
