Man United double injury update for Crystal Palace with Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes latest

Man Utd have been hit with a hard blow as Marcus Rashford is confirmed to be out of their game against Crystal Palace on Monday while captain Bruno Fernandes' involvement hangs in the balance.

Rashford was seen withdrawing due to injury during United's FA Cup win over Coventry at Wembley almost two weeks ago and remains sidelined, while Fernandes was also hurt during Saturday's 1-1 clash with Burnley at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag, United's manager, has flagged the playmaker — who has remained unscathed throughout the season — as doubtful for the upcoming match, stating: «After the game against Burnley, we had an issue with Bruno. He is a doubt for Monday, but we all know Bruno — never rule him out for any game.»

Ten Hag added: «He will do his best to be available. Jonny Evans returned today for team training. Tomorrow we are off and then two days until the game.»

Regarding Rashford, Ten Hag stated that specifics were elusive and confessed: «With Marcus, I can't tell [when he will be back]. It was last week, after Coventry, and his issue hasn't healed so far. Anthony Martial was partly in team training. Jonny Evans returned to team training today.»

The inability to secure a Champions League position for the forthcoming season looms over United with Ten Hag admitting: «Always a lot of work, it sounds a little bit like, but it's normal. But the injuries had a big impact,» reports the Mirror.
