[골닷컴] Correspondent Park Moon-soo = A bad news came to Manchester United (herefollowing referred to as Man United) on the rise. It is because of the injury of Christian Eriksen, a key resource in the midfield, coach Ten Hag.
Manchester United won 3-1 once morest Reading in the 2022/23 FA Cup Round 4 held at Old Trafford on the morning of the 29th. Man Utd, who might not open even following knocking in the first half, succeeded in advancing to the next round thanks to Casemiro’s multi-goal and Fred’s wedge.
The victory was happy, but there were also some regrets. That’s Eriksen. Eriksen had the ball in the 8th minute of the second half, and Reading striker Andy Carroll made an unsportsmanlike tackle. Eriksen fell and complained of pain in his ankle. Afterwards, he was replaced with Fred in the 12th minute of the second half.
Unfortunately, in the 15th minute of the second half, Carroll committed an unsportsmanlike foul on Malacia and received a warning. Five minutes later, Casemiro received another yellow card for a tackle unrelated to the ball. He was sent off following receiving two yellow cards within 5 minutes. However, he received only a verbal warning for Eriksen’s foul.
Eriksen was captured following the match. Complaining of an ankle injury, he soon walked off the field on crutches.
Ten Haag also commented on Eriksen’s injury: “It’s difficult to talk regarding it in such a short period of time following the game. I have a problem with my ankle. I have to wait for the diagnosis. It will take 24 hours to know what will happen. After that, I can’t say more. There seems to be,” he said, concerned.
The extent of the injury remains to be seen, but it is a fatal blow for United.
Eriksen, who wore the Manchester United uniform as a free agent this season, is in charge of Manchester United’s third line along with Casemiro. He is virtually an indispensable key resource to the team.
Appeared in all matches except Newcastle United. Except for the substitute appearance once morest Tottenham, he started 18 games and recorded 1 goal and 7 assists.
Despite losing to Arsenal, United were also on the rise. Even if winning the league is unreasonable, it is said that entering the top 4, which was the goal at the beginning of the season, is enough. At an unexpected moment, he was in danger of losing the ace of midfield. Right now, Man Utd has to start with the second leg of the League Cup semi-final once morest Nottingham Forest midweek, face-to-face with Palace, and two consecutive matches once morest Leeds United.
If Eriksen’s injury is prolonged, he will have to face the leading La Liga team without a midfielder core in the two consecutive matches once morest Barcelona in the UEFA Europa League playoffs.
