Man Utd’s Eriksen Out For Three Months With Ankle Injury

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen will be out for three months after suffering ankle injury, the club have announced.

Eriksen sustained the ankle problem during the Emirates FA Cup win over Reading following a late challenge by Andy Carroll.

It was confirmed on Tuesday that the midfielder is likely to be unavailable until late April or early May.

Reacting to the development, Man Utd coach Erik Ten Hag said: “Of course, he is disappointed about it, we are disappointed about it,” he said. “It happens in top football, you have to deal with it. As you said, something coming out on deadline day is difficult and you can’t make policy on such bad injuries but we have players in the midfield department, good players, we also have players who can fill the gap.”
