Lisandro Martinez Luke Shaw Mason Mount Manchester United injury news and return dates
Lisandro Martinez of Manchester United
Latest Manchester United news and gossip as injury updates emerge for Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Aaron Wan-Bissaka ahead of the Premier League clash against Fulham.
Erik ten Hag is still being forced to deal with having several Manchester United players on the sidelines through injury.
Sunday saw United claim a 2-1 win over Luton Town in the Premier League. A first-half brace from Rasmus Hojlund saw Ten Hag and Co. leave Kenilworth Road with all three points and close the gap on the top four places in the table.
United now stand in sixth place in the league table, five points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. This weekend will see the Reds face Fulham at Old Trafford in the Premier League, before travelling to face Nottingham Forest a few days later in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Lisandro Martinez
Lisandro Martinez suffered another knee injury against West Ham on February 4. It was expected at the time that the centre-back would face a minimum of eight more weeks on the sidelines.
Martinez had only just returned from a lengthy lay-off with a knee injury before returning to the treatment room. Ten Hag and Co. will be hoping that the defender makes a speedy recovery ahead of a crucial stage of the season.
Luke Shaw
Luke Shaw was substituted in the closing stages of the first half against Luton with what appeared to be an injury. The left-back went straight down the tunnel after the substitution, but Ten Hag was unable to provide an exact diagnosis of the potential injury.
Shaw has been a key figure in the United defence under Ten Hag, and the Dutchman will hope to have the left-back return to the matchday squad as soon as possible. Ten Hag will be expected to provide an update on Shaw's fitness when he speaks to the media later this week.
Possible return date: Unknown.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been sidelined for more than a month with an unspecified injury. The right-back last played for United in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on January 14.
Ten Hag has stated that he expects Wan-Bissaka to return in a couple of weeks, but an exact return date has yet to be stated. Should that happen then it's possible Wan-Bissaka could make a return in the Manchester derby next month.
