Rasmus Hojlund has not been ruled out of Manchester United\u2019s Premier League game at Everton on Sunday, but Christian Eriksen will play no part.<\/p>\n
United boss Erik ten Hag has issued an injury update on the Denmark pair, who missed out for their country during the international break.<\/p>\n
Hojlund (muscle strain) and Eriksen (knee) both sustained injuries in United\u2019s previous top-flight fixture, a 1-0 home win against Luton on November 11.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag told United\u2019s official website: \u201cChristian will take a little bit longer. It will take some weeks until he will return.<\/p>\n
\u201cRasmus Hojlund, not too bad. Everton will be a close finish, but we\u2019re working on that.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not sure if he can make that but, hopefully, in the next week, he will return to the squad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both players were withdrawn in the closing stages against Luton. United initially confirmed Eriksen would be out for a month, while Hojlund was hoping to return before the end of November.<\/p>\n
Should Hojlund fail a fitness test before Sunday\u2019s game at Everton, he could make a timely return to action in next Tuesday\u2019s Champions\u2019 League fixture against Galatasaray in Istanbul.<\/p>\n
Fellow forward Marcus Rashford will miss that must-win group game through suspension following his red card in the recent defeat in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n
United have confirmed that Ten Hag will serve a touchline ban at Everton this weekend having accumulated three yellow cards.<\/p>\n
