WHAT HAPPENED?

The Dutch manager informed that the youngster missed training on Friday due to illness and that there remains a doubt over his participation in the Brentford clash. The club are monitoring the player's condition and a final call will be taken on the matchday depending on how well the midfielder recovers.

THE EXPLANATION

Speaking to reporters, Ten Hag said, "He skipped training because he was ill. I don't know, we hope. Today he is there, not fully recovered but we still have many hours before kick-off."The Dutch manager further heaped praise on the midfielder and revealed his progression to the first team. He added, "We thought he was capable of it and we thought he was capable of adjusting very quickly to high levels so we had to delay that moment but for him and us that is good. Later in the season, he proved that he can contribute highly to our team. We are happy we saw this right and we are happy we have a player like him in our squad. He can really contribute and be the player who can make us play the way we want to play."

WHAT ERIK TEN HAG SAID

After facing The Bees on Saturday, the Red Devils will be next seen in action on April 4 as they take Chelsea in a league clash.
