Erik ten Hag provides injury update on 7 Manchester United stars ahead of Tottenham Hotspur clash

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has provided injury updates on as many as seven of his players ahead of the Red Devils' clash against Tottenham Hotspur. Ten Hag's team will host Spurs in a Premier League encounter on Wednesday (October 19). They could be without multiple players for the crunch fixture at Old Trafford. This includes Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Brandon Williams, Axel Tuanzebe, Donny van de Beek, Christian Eriksen and Anthony Martial. In his press conference ahead of Manchester United's game against Tottenham, Ten Hag provided an update on all seven players. He spoke about Williams and Tuanzebe (as quoted by ): "I see good progress from Brandon. He returned on the pitch, individual base. Axel is still working inside, he is not back on the pitch, I think it will be difficult for Axel to return before Christmas. Brandon maybe not be in the squad for the games but probably team training." He stated that the trio of Maguire, Van de Beek and Wan-Bissaka are set to return to team training: "Making good progress all and they will return to team training this week." It looks unlikely that the trio will feature against Tottenham. Lastly, Ten Hag stated that Eriksen could return to the fold on Wednesday. However, he had a less optimistic outlook on Martial's status: "Anthony Martial is not available. He's back on the pitch but not in the team training. Christian Eriksen returned in the team training today and we have to see how that works out, how he will recover, if he has the energy tomorrow, so we have to wait for that."
