Return Date Announced – Rashford, Casemiro, Shaw – United injury news and return dates
Manchester United has been grappling with a barrage of injuries throughout this season, and the latest casualty to join the list is Marcus Rashford.
The talented forward fell short during a last-minute fitness evaluation prior to the clash against Fulham, resulting in his omission from the squad.
As the team prepares for the upcoming Champions League fixture against Copenhagen, several other players find themselves nursing injuries in the treatment room.
One notable absence will be Casemiro, who won’t be available for the impending showdown.
The Brazilian midfielder played in a recent match but encountered yet another setback that will sideline him for a significant period.
While some players are nearing their return, others remain on the road to recovery.
Here’s a closer look at the injury statuses of these key players:
Marcus Rashford
Injury: Knock
Rashford was unfortunately ruled out of the Fulham match after an untimely injury during training.
The fact that he underwent a last-minute fitness assessment provides some hope that he might recover in time for the midweek Champions League clash against Copenhagen.
Potential return date: November 8 vs Copenhagen
Casemiro
Injury: Hamstring
Casemiro’s injury woes have persisted, as he suffered a hamstring injury during a League Cup defeat to Newcastle.
This setback came shortly after his recovery from a foot injury sustained during the previous month’s international break. The ambiguous timeline for his return complicates matters.
Potential return date: Unknown
Luke Shaw
Injury: Muscular
While Luke Shaw has been making promising progress in his recovery, a return before this month’s international break, which is just over a week away, seems unlikely.
Potential return date: Late November
Tyrell Malacia
Injury: Knee
Malacia had to undergo knee surgery and hasn’t seen action since the final day of last season’s Premier League.
Although he has resumed individual training, the timeline for his return remains uncertain.
Potential return date: Unknown
Lisandro Martinez
Injury: Foot
Lisandro Martinez has faced recurrent metatarsal issues that necessitated surgery. The problem initially arose in April, and a recurrence in September could keep him out until 2024. Martinez has expressed his need for patience in the recovery process.
Potential return date: January
Amad
Injury: Knee
Amad sustained a knee injury during a pre-season match against Arsenal. While he has been seen working diligently in the gym and on the training ground, an official return date has yet to be confirmed.
