Manchester United have a fresh injury concern with Christian Eriksen suffering an ankle injury in Saturday’s 3-1 FA Cup win over Reading.
Eriksen was replaced in the 57th minute of the win after being brought down by Andy Carroll early in the second half.
United manager Erik ten Hag elaborated on the injury after the game, with further assessment to come.
“It’s always difficult to say in this moment so short after the game has finished,” the Dutchman told reporters.
“But it’s an ankle. We have to see what is the diagnosis, so it costs us a minimum of 24 hours before we know that and then I can say more.”
Ten Hag was full of praise for midfielder Casemiro who scored two goals in the win.
“We know he’s a great player and that midfield at Real Madrid, with Kroos and Modric, it was great,” Ten Hag said.
“He’s capable of that (scoring goals). We see him as a part of it offensively and he enjoys it as well, when he can come (into) it.
“What I like is dynamic football with variations, with many positional switches so we have to make the opponent think so that we can take the benefit of it.
“Casemiro is magnificent. In front of the back line, always taking good positions, in and out of position.
“And he can deal with the ball, he can give the right pass. So, he can accelerate the game and if necessary, he can score.”
