Christian Eriksen will not be fit to play against Brentford due to an ankle injury, but is making good progress towards recovery.
Christian Eriksen’s dream comeback against his former side Brentford has been ruled out as the Danish midfielder continues to recover from an ankle injury he sustained in the FA Cup clash against Reading back in late January. Manchester United, who host Brentford this week, will have to wait a little longer to welcome back their midfielder.
According to Manchester United’s Official Website , Eriksen’s return for Wednesday’s fixture appears unlikely, despite the midfielder showing good progress in his recovery from the injury. In a recent update, Eriksen revealed that he has discarded his walking boots and is now back wearing football boots again, but he has not yet rejoined his teammates for training.
Although the exact timeline for Eriksen’s return remains unclear, mid-April seems the most likely time frame for his comeback. It could coincide with Casemiro’s suspension ending, which would be a welcome boost for Manchester United in their bid for domestic success.
