Breaking News: Erik ten Hag’s injury crisis worsens as Man Utd star spotted on crutches

With a victory over Fulham to start the Premier League season, Manchester United is still without several key players due to preseason injuries.
With no signs of slowing down, Manchester United’s early-season injury issue has left Victor Lindelof spotted walking with crutches.
The Swedish centre back did not play in the opening night victory over Fulham. Earlier in the summer transfer season, he had been linked to a move away from Old Trafford.
And since then, Maja, his wife, has shared a little video clip of him hobbling with the use of a crutch on Instagram with the brief description, “Doing everything in slow motion these days.”
Lindelof is a member of the Old Trafford walking wounded list, which also includes left defender Luke Shaw, forward Rasmus Hojlund, and recent addition Leny Yoro. But since head coach Erik ten Hag has not provided an explanation, there is still some uncertainty surrounding the specific problem facing the former.
The reason for Lindelof’s removal during the preseason friendly in the United States versus Liverpool was deemed “precautionary.”
However, he did not make the squad for the Community Shield match against Manchester City last weekend, and he was not a member of the team that defeated Fulham 1-0 because Josha Zirkzee, a rookie, scored the game’s winning goal late on after coming off the bench.
Bologna’s £36.5 million acquisition Zirkzee declared: “It couldn’t be better to win here in my first home game and to grab a goal.” One of the nicest experiences at Manchester United, I’ve been told, is scoring at the Stretford End. I feel very fortunate and grateful that I got to experience it in my very first game. It’s a wonderful sensation.
“All we wanted in the end was to win, and that is what we achieved.” It’s just a very pleasant feeling that I find difficult to describe. This place is so warm to me. They make an excellent team. We aim to accomplish something remarkable. It’s been incredible—really, it’s like a dream.”
Ten Hag started Matthijs de Ligt on the bench and selected a back four that included recent addition Noussair Mazraoui. “Scoring for a striker is important and he should be where he was but he has more qualities and he has to get the right balance,” the Dutch coach responded when asked about Zirkzee.
“We want him to connect up, but he needs to be arriving in the box to get the finishes. He is surrounded by some excellent midfield players who can create combinations. Even if it’s the first game, it’s a good idea to reinforce the conviction. We need to improve in a lot of areas, but that’s common.
In addition to Lindelof’s injury, Yoro’s preseason foot break leaves him without a set recovery date, while Shaw’s calf problem keeps him out of the game. Hojlund is anticipated to remain absent for an additional month, and Tyrell Malacia is predicted to return in October after missing over a year due to a catastrophic knee injury. Will Fish, an academy product, also suffered a serious injury in the preseason.

(4-2-3-1) Ugarte first Premier League start, Confirmed Manchester United line up vs Crystal Palace – The Most strongest lineups ever
In the Premier League on Saturday night, Manchester United plays Crystal Palace.
United is confident going into the match after winning 3-0 against Southampton the previous weekend and a dominant 7-0 over Barnsley in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.
Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount’s return to full training at Carrington earlier in the week has given Erik ten Hag’s team momentum.
In the Carabao Cup, Crystal Palace also advanced to the next round, but their start to the Premier League has been disappointing as they have only managed two points from four games.

BREAKING: THEEE Arsenal’s major starters including the only player who has been impressive this season are not in contention to face Man City today tomorrow as leaked information surface online
On Sunday, Arsenal will go to the northwest to play Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in a match that will determine who finishes top of the Premier League league. William Saliba has cautioned the Gooners not to get ahead of themselves; winning the league will need more than just defeating City, even though winning that game increases the Gunners’ chances of winning the league.
In their road match versus City during the Premier League run-in last year, Arsenal and the defending champions drew 0-0. Following that tie with City, Arsenal’s detractors asserted that they lost the title match because they chose to play for a draw rather than a win, which would have given them three points and won the league by a single point.
The Gunners haven’t defeated City at the Etihad Stadium in nine years, but on Sunday they have the opportunity to disprove the doubters.
For this weekend’s heavyweight encounter, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta should have a stronger team despite the absences of Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino. Hopefully, Kevin De Bruyne’s injury will prevent him from playing for the Citizens.
Arsenal’s defensive star Saliba has expressed the team’s resolve to win on Sunday, but even a victory over City will not guarantee them the title of league winners. Saliba says that beating City on Sunday is undoubtedly in the cards, but he also says that the club needs to work hard to play consistently after that.

(4-3-3): Mikel Arteta excludes FOUR first team players from the squad to face Man City tomorrow to create room for new signings and academy players
On Sunday, Arsenal will play Manchester City, their likely title challengers, at the Etihad Stadium, capping up maybe the most difficult week of the team’s season.
Even though this big match takes place just a month into the new campaign, it is impossible to overstate how important an away victory in Manchester would be. Although Arsenal has not lost to the Cityzens in their last three meetings, they have not triumphed at the Etihad since Pep Guardiola became manager.
Since Brentford in November 2022, no visiting club has actually taken all three points at City’s stronghold. Without a doubt, it’s a difficult location to visit.
The visitors are without skipper Martin Odegaard and still carrying a very long list of injuries. Here is how we think Arteta’s Arsenal starting lineup will appear on Sunday in an attempt to avoid losing. Arteta may go all Tony Pulis on Sunday.
Arsenal vs. Man City lineup prediction
Potential starting lineup for Arsenal:
Raya; Havertz, Partey, Rice; Saka, Jesus, Trossard; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber
