Due to a back ailment, Anthony Martial is still out for Manchester United, but Christian Eriksen could play his former team, Tottenham.
Prior to Wednesday’s crucial match at Old Trafford, Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag gave an update on the state of his team’s fitness, according to a talksport source.
Due to the back injury he sustained in the 2-1 away triumph at Everton, Martial was unable to participate in Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Newcastle. Due to an illness episode, Eriksen missed the stalemate against the Magpies as well.

And without the midfielder, United suffered because they lacked innovation in the last third of the field. Eriksen, who played 305 times for Spurs between 2013 and 2020, is eligible to play them, which is good news for Ten Hag.
Anthony Martial is not available, Ten Hag stated in his pre-game press conference.
He is back on the field but is not participating in team practice.
Today’s team practice featured Christian Eriksen’s return.
“And we have to wait to see how that turns out, how he will recuperate, and if he has the energy tomorrow.”
A return to play for Harry Maguire, Donny van de Beek, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who are now sidelined due to separate ailments, is also imminent, according to Ten Hag.
They are all progressing well, he said (of them). This week, they will all return for team training.
