Erik Ten Hag has stated that the trio of Antony Santos, Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay are set to miss out on the trip to West Yorkshire and probably miss the Europa League clash with FC Barcelona on Thursday.
Although Anthony Martial has been out of action for two weeks in a row, Erik ten Hag doesn't anticipate having any of his injured Manchester United players back for the trip to Elland Road on Sunday.
However, Antony, Anthony Martial, and Scott McTominay were all unable to participate in the match against the Whites due to injuries. In West Yorkshire, Erik Ten Hag is anticipating that none of them will return, but he doesn't anticipate that his team will have any further difficulties before the game on Sunday.
“I don’t expect [them to be fit]. We have some days obviously, but I don't expect it,” Ten Hag told reporters at his pre-match press conference.
“If I can oversee it from now, I don't see any new problems coming up.”
Ten Hag also added that the trio are even unlikely to play in Barcelona next Thursday, when the Reds resume our Europa League campaign: “I think same answer, I can’t say for 100 percent, but I don’t expect it.”
"With the injuries, if you see Christian Eriksen, you can't see that as an impact from the tough season, but it definitely is a tough season with the World Cup in between and a lot of overload for the players,” he added.
“That process is already longer term, going on that the load on the players is too much.”
On Friday afternoon, co-interim manager Michael Skubala is scheduled to address the media. However, forward Rodrigo is unquestionably out, and Luis Sinisterra (injury) and Pascal Struijk (concussion) are questionable after leaving the field early on Wednesday.
Additionally, there might be news on Marc Roca and Liam Cooper, who were unable to travel to Manchester.
Just four days after the thrilling 2-2 draw at Old Trafford, where goals from Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho helped salvage a point after the visitors unexpectedly took a two-goal lead, the Reds take on Leeds United once more.
After almost four months away from league play, Sancho shined upon his comeback, and Marcel Sabitzer also made his complete club debut.
