Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Anthony Martial, Antony and Scott McTominay will all be absent for his side’s visit to Elland Road to take on Leeds United this Sunday.
Erik ten Hag said: “I don’t expect [Martial, Antony and McTominay to be fit]. “We have some days obviously, but I don’t expect it. If I can oversee it from now, I don’t see any new problems coming up.”
The Dutchman went on to suggest that the hectic schedule of the Premier League, although not entirely to blame, has played its part on his side’s fitness struggles.
Erik ten Hag added:“With the injuries, if you see Christian Eriksen [who is out with a long-term ankle injury], you can’t see that as an impact from the tough season, but it definitely is a tough season with the World Cup in between and a lot of overload for the players. That process is already longer term, going on that the load on the players is too much.”
Elsewhere, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a still doubt with illness, Casemiro will serve the second of his three-match suspension and Donny van de Beek is also ruled out with a long-term injury.
