Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund will be sidelined for up to three weeks following a muscle injury, which will see him miss several key matches, including the upcoming derby against Manchester City. The 21-year-old, who has been in fine form with goals in his last six games, is set to sit out of as many as five matches, starting with the clash against Fulham at Old Trafford this Saturday.
Manager Erik ten Hag confirmed the news at a press conference, stating that Højlund's injury is not severe but will require a recovery period of two to three weeks. This setback adds to United's injury concerns, with players like Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martínez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Tyrell Malacia, and Mason Mount already unavailable.
