Erik ten Hag Reveals When Alejandro Garnacho Will Return From Injury

Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Alejandro Garnacho‘s injury is serious but he will return to play before the end of the season.

Garnacho suffered an ankle injury during the goalless draw against Southampton, which forced him to leave the field 10 minutes after being subbed on.

Initially, Ten Hag suggested the injury was not too severe, but after the 18-year-old underwent a scan, it was discovered that it was worse than expected. Garnacho will miss United’s upcoming games against Real Betis and Fulham, as well as Argentina’s fixtures.

During his pre-match press conference on Wednesday, Ten Hag suggested that Garnacho could be sidelined for some time, as he was emotional about the injury.

The Red Devil boss said: ‘I can’t say exactly [when he will be back]. It will take weeks, it is a serious injury.

‘He will be back before the end of the season. We need to get him back as soon as possible and we hope he is ready.

‘It is difficult to make a diagnosis quickly. I saw him limping and that is why I took him off.’

In addition to Garnacho’s injury, Manchester United lost Casemiro due to a four-game domestic ban after receiving a straight red card during the Southampton draw.
