Erik ten Hag gave a long report on the team’s news before Manchester United’s Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur.

Twelve first-team players couldn’t play against Wigan Athletic on Monday night because they were sick, hurt, or on foreign service.

Ten Hag has been waiting for a long time for January to come around so that our mobility problems can be fixed. It looks like the team could get stronger for Sunday’s game against Ange Postecoglou’s team.

Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro are both looking forward to coming back after being hurt in September and November, respectively. Luke Shaw, on the other hand, has missed our last three games with a small injury.

The manager seemed to imply that all three could play this weekend at Old Trafford.

Erik told reporters on Friday, “This week in training, Licha Martinez is training, Casemiro is training, and Luke Shaw is training.”

“So, players are coming back, and they will be picked for Sunday.”

All three of Amad, Anthony, and Christian Eriksen were not able to make it to the DW Stadium, but they are all ready to play again.

“Sure, Antony. Eriksen was sick last week, but he will be back. Antony will come back. “I thought you said longer-term and unexpected, but they will come back too,” Erik said.

“Then Amad will come back. We have more options in the squad right now to choose a starting eleven and make the bench better.

Last month, Victor Lindelof had surgery to fix a problem with his hip. He and Mason Mount are still getting back to full-match fitness.

Tyrell Malacia is another player who is almost ready to play again after missing the whole first half of the season.

The boss said, “Mason Mount will come back, but it will take a little longer.”

“There are more. Tyrell Malacia will also come back, and Victor Lindelof is on his way back, but it will take a few weeks.”

“It takes time to get fit for a game again.”

Anthony Martial won’t be able to play against Spurs, but Ten Hag said earlier this week that Harry Maguire “maybe” be able to play again after being out with an injury since the Champions League game against Bayern Munich.

Ten Hag didn’t say anything new about Andre Onana. He was seen working on Thursday, but he is supposed to leave soon to play for Cameroon in the African Cup of Nations.

Another player from Morocco, Sofyan Amrabat, is also at the competition.
