Man Utd's squad problems ahead of Sevilla clash

Man Utd have officially announced that striker Marcus Rashford will be out for a few games after suffering a groin injury in the 2-0 win over Everton last weekend.

Rashford is in impressive form, scoring 28 goals and helping Man Utd to cherish the hope of winning the treble this season (including League Cup, Europa League and FA Cup). But now coach Ten Hag has a headache with the problem of not having the service of the England international, especially in the first leg at Old Trafford against Sevilla tomorrow.

Joining David de Gea in the press conference ahead of the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla, coach Ten Hag said about Rashford's injury situation: "He could miss a few games, the information has been confirmed. We cannot give more details. We have to see how the injury progresses.

Our responsibility is to help Rashford return as soon as possible. But we don't need to push, we have to be careful."

The good news is that striker Anthony Martial, who has not started a match since January 6, can now replace Rashford after recovering from injury.

"The advantage is that we can bring Martial back slowly, give him some minutes, but I think he has been ready to start since the Everton game," said coach Ten Hag.

The Dutchman also had some good news in midfield, with Christian Eriksen returning from injury. Midfielder Casemiro will also be in the squad after serving a four-match Premier League ban, meaning Ten Hag will have his favourite midfield trio of Eriksen, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes.

"I think the balance in midfield is best with Casemiro, Eriksen and Bruno. Casemiro is a versatile player, supporting both attack and defense. Eriksen can support him in defense and attack, especially he can create opportunities with important passes," coach Ten Hag expressed.

Finally, coach Ten Hag provided an update on Luke Shaw and Alejandro Garnacho, who are still injured. "Both will not play tomorrow. Garnacho's injury is definitely more serious, but I hope Luke Shaw will be back in a shorter time," concluded the 53-year-old coach.
