When will Casemiro & Lisandro Martinez be back? Erik ten Hag gives honest update on key Man Utd duo while confirming Rasmus Hojlund will return for FA Cup clash with Wigan

Europa League

Tottenham

Manchester United

Casemiro has missed the previous two months due to a hamstring issue, while Martinez has not played since September due to a recurrence of a foot ailment that was first sustained in April. Though Ten Hag stated they are not yet prepared to return to action, both have now resumed their training and were seen last week at Carrington. Rasmus Hojlund, on the other hand, will be eligible for the Red Devils' matchup with Wigan Athletic, according to the Dutchman.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Talking at a pre-match press conference, <a href="https://www.espn.in/football/story/_/id/39258107/casemiro-martinez-injury-returns-weeks-away-ten-hag" target="_blank">Ten Hag said [via ESPN]</a>: "They [Casemiro and Martinez] are a long time already back on the grass and now they return back into team training but not fully, so partial. Now they have to make the next steps and that may take some days, I think even weeks."He [Hojlund] will return. He dropped out shortly before the game [against Forest] and so he was a little bit unwell before the game. The day before we expected him to play and then he dropped out shortly before the game but he is back in training."

WHAT TEN HAG SAID

Hojlund has struggled so far in the league as the Dane has only managed to score once in 15 appearances so far, which came in his last game for the Red Devils. Casemiro and Martinez have missed the majority of the season, which has come at the cost of the Red Devils' exit from the Champions League and a rather underwhelming season in the league.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

United will be in action later today when they take on Championship side Wigan Athletic in the third round of the FA Cup. Hojlund may start the game as he will look to hit the ground running and build up some steam against a considerably weaker opposition.
