MANCHESTER UNITED boss Erik ten Hag has revealed that Mason Mount has suffered yet another injury setback.
However, Ten Hag, 54, has also confirmed that Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford have returned to training.
That means the United trio could be part of Sunday’s Premier League crunch clash against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
But the same doesn’t go for Mount who sustained a “very unlucky” injury that adds to his fitness woes.
The playmaker joined the Red Devils from Chelsea last summer following a £60million deal with Chelsea.
However, the England international has since been plagued with a series of injuries.
Mount was sidelined for four months with a calf injury he suffered in November.
That has limited the attacking midfielder to a mere 19 appearances across all competitions on his debut campaign at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag has been dealing with a general injury crisis throughout the entirety of this turbulent season.
The Dutch tactician still has Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane in the treatment room.
Malacia hasn’t played a single game this term due to a knee injury, Martinez suffered a calf injury in March shortly after his return to full fitness while Varane as well as Shaw are treating a muscle problem.
Ten Hag, though, revealed Martinez has asked to play against Arsenal but he won’t risk him.
The ex-Ajax boss has lost so many defenders to the treatment room that he had to use defensive midfielder Casemiro as a centre-back.
