Manchester United's promising talent, Rasmus Hojlund, is intensifying his recovery efforts at Carrington ahead of the impending FA Cup face-off against Liverpool.
Significance of Hojlund's Return
The absence of 22-year-old Danish forward, Rasmus Hojlund, due to injury has been deeply felt by Manchester United in recent fixtures. However, his imminent comeback could offer a substantial lift for manager Erik ten Hag, particularly considering the team's reliance on his goal-scoring abilities.
Anticipated Comeback
Having sat out the last four games, Hojlund was initially expected to be sidelined for approximately three weeks, which would have encompassed this weekend's crucial match. Despite not yet fully resuming training at Carrington, his early arrival on Wednesday underscores his determination to rejoin the squad, with an afternoon training session slated as part of the ongoing preparations for the highly anticipated showdown against Jurgen Klopp's formidable Liverpool side.
Impact of Hojlund's Absence
During Hojlund's absence, Manchester United managed two victories and suffered two defeats, scoring just five goals in four games, two of which were from penalty kicks in the recent triumph over Everton.
Erik ten Hag's Quotes on Players' Availability
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, provided insights on the availability of key players, including Rasmus Hojlund, for the upcoming matches. Here are some notable quotes from him:
On the return of players:
"That's the good news, they [Rashford and Evans] recovered after the derby, so they are available, the rest is the same squad apart from Omari Forson. He dropped out, he has an injury." 1
"For next week, some players are planning to return, hopefully when the process will continue like it is now, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka: I expect them to be available for our game against Liverpool. Hojlund as well."
