Man Utd News: When are Manchester United’s 9 injured players expected to return?

Luke Shaw

Much like Eric Bailly, Shaw’s Manchester United career has been plagued with injuries. The 24-year started the campaign injury free before suffering yet another injury setback. He suffered a hamstring injury during United’s loss to Crystal Palace at the end of August and has been out since.

Luke Shaw spent 4 weeks on the sidelines and returned to train with the team in September. However, he is yet to fully recover from the injury. The left back will be out of the side at least until after the international break, extending his time off to at least 3 months.

Timothy Fosu-Mensah

21-yeard old Timothy Fosu-Mensah is expected to make a return by December. However, with so many players above him in the pecking order, it is unlikely that he will feature for Manchester United any time soon.

The fact that he had a disappointing loan spell at Fulham before sustaining a serious knee injury in March does not help his case either. It is very likely that he will turn out for the U23’s like Eric Bailly instead of the first team.

Nemanja Matic

 

Nemanja Matic has not featured for Manchester United as many times as he would have liked. He still is a good addition to the squad though. With United going through a youth revolution at the moment, someone like Matic could really be a leader in the dressing room.

However, Matic has said that he’s open to leaving the club in order to receive more game time. It is therefore unlikely that Solskjaer will play him often even if he returns. Like Luke Shaw, the Serb will not return until after the International break.
