Ten Hag Not Too Worried About Hojlund and Yoro Injuries

Jakarta, Todaysgist.com – Manchester United manager Eric ten Hag is not concerned about the injuries suffered by striker Rasmus Hojlund and defender Leny Yoro ahead of the Premier League’s return on August 16, 2024.

“It’s part of football. Injuries are unavoidable,” Ten Hag said on the sidelines of a pre-season match in the United States, Friday (2/8/2024).

However, ten Hag is confident his injured players will recover soon. “But of course, we have to be ready as a club and as a team to deal with this and the players are dealing with this very well. They are very positive, they will recover and they will be back,” said the former Ajax coach.

In addition to Yoro and Hojlund, MU is also threatened with losing Marcus Rashford and Antony Matheus due to injuries in the pre-season match. Ten Hag does not want to be reckless by fielding the two players in the friendly match against Liverpool, Sunday (4/8/2024).

Ten Hag is not taking any risks in the last match of the tour in the US. “We don’t want to take any risks in the last match of the tour,” said the Dutch coach.

“We will see if they are ready for the last game against Liverpool,” he added.

New MU defender Leny Yoro is expected to be out for up to three months due to an injury sustained during a pre-season match in the United States against Arsenal on Sunday (28/7/2024). Yoro only played 35 minutes before being withdrawn by coach Erik ten Hag due to a fractured metatarsal.

MU will play the Community Shield match against Manchester City on August 10, 2024. Without Yoro, MU will field their old squad including defenders Jonny Evans, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof.
