Erik ten Hag dealt another major Man United injury blow ahead of Arsenal clash

Manchester United will arrive at Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend without three crucial first-team players. Mason Mount and Luke Shaw are already side lined with the latter possibly out until December while Mount is aiming for a return after the international break and now another star has suffered a worrying injury.

Jurrien Timber obviously remains as a long-term absentee but Arteta will likely have a plethora of options from the bench in comparison to his managerial counterpart with another Man United star expected to miss the game.

According to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol, Raphael Varane will not feature in the clash and could be absent for up to six weeks after suffering an injury against Nottingham Forest.

Victor Lindelof is therefore likely to be Lisandro Martinez's centre-back partner for the clash while Christian Eriksen, who came in for Mount this past weekend, is expected to be given the nod again. Diogo Dalot was deployed in place of Shaw but ten Hag could welcome a new left-back for the fixture.
