Get ready for a nail-biting match as Manchester United heads to Sevilla for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final.
However, the Red Devils are facing a serious fitness crisis with up to 11 players potentially missing the match. Will they be able to pull through and secure their spot in the next round?
Key attacker Bruno Fernandes is out due to a yellow card picked up in the first leg, while Lisandro Martinez, Donny van de Beek, Raphael Varane, Tom Heaton, and Alejandro Garnacho are definitely out due to injuries. Martinez is out for the season with a foot injury, while Varane faces “a few weeks” on the treatment table.
To make matters worse, Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw are also sweating over their fitness, having missed the team’s last few matches with groin and hamstring issues, respectively. Scott McTominay is facing a battle to be fit, and two fresh blows from Tyrell Malacia’s knee issue and Sabitzer’s injury in the warm-up have added to the club’s woes.
Despite the crisis, Diogo Dalot and fit-again Christian Eriksen stepped up to the plate in their recent Premier League win over Nottingham Forest. But will it be enough to secure victory against Sevilla?
Stay tuned for updates on the fitness of Rashford, Shaw, McTominay, Malacia, and Sabitzer as Ten Hag addresses the media during his pre-match press conference. Manchester United is facing an uphill battle, but they’re not going down without a fight.
