Erik ten Hag gets a big downer in the run-up to the Europa League match with Sevilla | Foreign football

Marcus Rashford cannot play in the quarter-final of the Europa League against Sevilla on Thursday. The Manchester United attacker has not recovered in time from a muscle injury, which he sustained in the final phase of the league game with Everton (2-0 win) last weekend.

Rashford, who will probably be sidelined for a few weeks, is of great value to the team of trainer Erik ten Hag this season. Especially after the World Cup break, the Englishman is unstoppable. Rashford played 28 games for Manchester United after the World Cup. He was good for twenty goals and five assists. As a result, he is involved in a goal almost every game on average.

Although Ten Hag acknowledges that the loss of Rashford is a loss, he thinks he can absorb it. “We certainly have enough other players with the ability to score goals,” said Ten Hag. With Wout Weghorst, Jadon Sancho, Antony, Anthony Martial and Anthony Elanga, Ten Hag has plenty of other attackers with the necessary qualities.

Martial and Eriksen back from injury

Martial has just returned from an injury. Ten Hag indicates that he does not have to force anything. “I think he’s ready to start, but the front line did really well against Brentford and Everton.” Then Antony and Sancho were on the flanks and Rashford was the centre-forward.

Midfielder Christian Eriksen also made his comeback as a substitute against Everton. He has had no setback and is against Sevilla. The Brazilian Casemiro also returns to the selection after a suspension. The duel seems to come too soon for Alejandro Garnacho, who is on his way back from an ankle injury.
