Manchester United injury update: Victor Lindelof, Ramsus Hojlund, Luke Shaw latest news and return dates | OneFootball

Four issues to contend with as new season ramps up

Injury issues are, as ever, making an impact on Manchester United even at this early stage of the season.

Erik ten Hag’s side got the better of Fulham on Friday night despite missing four players.

Rasmus Hojlund and Luke Shaw are expected to be the first to return but Leny Yoro is months away from his competitive debut for Man Utd.

There are also fresh concerns that Victor Lindelof is set for a long spell on the sidelines, with Brighton next up on the coming weekend.

Here is your latest update of Manchester United injury news and return dates...

Victor Lindelof

Swedish defender Lindelof was forced out of the pre-season friendly against Liverpool with what was initially thought to be a minor issue.

However, the player’s wife posted an image of him on crutches over the weekend to suggest he is far from a comeback - amid United’s attempts to sell him.

Potential return date: Unknown

Rasmus Hojlund

Another player to go down during pre-season, Hojlund injured his hamstring against Arsenal in the USA.

A six-week timeframe means the Dane is tipped to return after next month’s internationals.

Potential return date: September 14, vs Southampton

Luke Shaw

Luke Shaw has not played for United since February but did make his comeback during England’s run to the Euro 2024 final.

The left-back will miss the first few weeks of the season, the club have confirmed, due to a calf problem picked up in training.

Leny Yoro

Big summer signing Yoro impressed on his debut against Rangers in pre-season but then suffered a foot injury on his second appearance, a friendly against Arsenal in the United States.

The defender has undergone surgery and is expected to miss around three months.

Potential return date: October 2024

Tyrell Malacia

Tyrell Malacia has not played for United since May 2023 but Ten Hag recently hinted he could make a return in the relatively near future.

"He had setbacks in his rehab process,” said the United boss. “Now we've turned a point and it's positive. He will return soon on the pitch. I don't think then it will take long before he's returning in the team training."

Potential return date: September/October 2024
