Martial, Antony, McTominay, Eriksen - Manchester United injury round-up and return dates

Manchester United will be without several first-team players on Sunday as they welcome Fulham to Old Trafford for their FA Cup quarter-final tie.

No new injury concerns arose from the midweek win away to Real Betis, although the absence of Antony from the squad through illness came as a surprise beforehand. The Brazilian joined Anthony Martial in watching from the sidelines, with the French striker yet to fully recover from a long-term hip injury despite recently returning to training.

Ten Hag admitted on Friday that the pair remain doubtful for Sunday's cup tie, as does Scott McTominay, while fellow long-term absentees Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek are also unavailable.

Below is a round-up on the injury news surrounding United.

Antony

Injury: Illness

Return date: April 2 vs Newcastle

What Ten Hag said: "Antony dos Santos, we have to see how he will progress."

Anthony Martial

Injury: Hip

Return date: Unknown

What Ten Hag said: "So we have to talk about [it] and I think Anthony Martial will not be available."

Scott McTominay

Injury: Unknown

Return date: Either vs Fulham or shortly after the international break

What Ten Hag said: "About the last game [vs Betis], that is why I didn’t bring him in, Scott McTominay, [as] he had some complaints. We have to see how that will progress in the coming hours and days."

Christian Eriksen

Injury: Ankle

Return date: Late April

What Eriksen has said: "I'm feeling well. It's always boring to be in a boot and to be on crutches, but I have left the crutches and am now only in a boot, and next week that should be gone, then finally start learning to walk. But it feels good."

Donny van de Beek

Injury: Knee

Return date: 2023 pre-season

What Ten Hag has said: "The bad news is that he's out for the rest of the season, but the good news is, in the longer term, his knee will be okay, and he will be ready again to play at the highest levels and will be ready for the start of pre-season."
