International defender Harry Maguire suffered a muscle injury and will be absent from the field for a period of 3 weeks, according to what his club, Manchester United, revealed.
Maguire joined United’s long injury list after sustaining an injury during training.
Maguire will therefore miss United’s remaining matches this season against Arsenal, Newcastle and Brighton, but he may have the opportunity to play in the FA Cup final against Manchester City on the 25th of this month.
Maguire’s absence is another blow to United’s Dutch coach Erik ten Hag, after he was forced to field Brazilian midfielder Casemiro in the centre-back position in the last two domestic league matches.
The defensive line is also absent from the Swedish Victor Lindelöf (hamstring), Argentine Lisandro Martinez (calf), Frenchman Raphael Varane (muscle), and full-back Luke Shaw (muscle).
United fell to eighth place in the English Premier League, after Chelsea and Newcastle won this weekend over Burnley and West Ham in succession, and needs to return to the winning tone to boost its hopes of finishing the season among the top six.
