Fulhamvs.Man Utd

sportsmole.co.uk, 24 January 2025, 10:07
Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they head to Fulham on Sunday night.

The Red Devils suffered a 3-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion in England's top flight last weekend, with the result leaving them down in 13th spot in the Premier League table, boasting just 26 points from 22 matches this term.

Ruben Amorim's side will enter this match off the back of a positive result, though, having beaten Rangers 2-1 in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Fulham, who occupy 10th spot in the table and are unbeaten at home in the league for more than two months.

Matthijs de Ligt

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: January 26 (vs. Fulham)

De Ligt had to be substituted at the interval of Thursday's clash with Rangers after 'feeling something in his leg' in the latter stages of the first half, and the Dutchman is therefore a major doubt for this match.

Leny Yoro

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: January 26 (vs. Fulham)

Yoro was replaced in the early stages of the second period against Rangers, with the Frenchman also reporting pain in his leg, so like De Ligt, he is a major doubt for the game at Craven Cottage.

Victor Lindelof

Status: Out

Type of injury: Unspecified

Possible return date: Unknown

Lindelof was forced off in the first half of the recent clash with Tottenham Hotspur due to an injury problem, and the Sweden international remains on the sidelines for the Red Devils.

Luke Shaw

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: February 8 (vs. Leicester City)

Shaw has only made three appearances this season due to ongoing injury problems, but Amorim has said that the left-back could return to training before the end of the month, while he could be available for selection towards the start of February.

Mason Mount

Status: Out

Type of injury: Unspecified

Possible return date: Unknown

Mount was again absent against Southampton due to the problem which forced him off the field against Manchester City in the Manchester derby last month, and the Englishman is still not close to making his return.

Jonny Evans

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: January 26 (vs. Fulham)

Experienced centre-back Evans is not currently available for selection due to a muscular problem, and he is again expected to miss out against Fulham this weekend.

MANCHESTER UNITED'S SUSPENSION LIST

Man United have no players suspended for the Premier League clash.
