May 5, (THEWILL)- Manchester United’s Harry Maguire faces a race against time to be fit for the FA Cup final after suffering a muscle injury. The England centre-back is set to miss the final English Premier League games of the season with the issue.
Maguire sustained the muscular problem that will sideline him for around three weeks, ruling him out of United’s remaining league matches against Crystal Palace, Arsenal, Newcastle United and Brighton. His absence compounds defensive injury woes for Erik ten Hag’s side.
The three-week timeframe puts Maguire’s availability for the FA Cup final on May 25 in jeopardy. United face Manchester City at Wembley in a repeat of last season’s showpiece. Losing the defender would be a considerable blow for the Red Devils.
With Euro 2024 on the horizon, England manager Gareth Southgate will hope Maguire can recover full fitness promptly. The 30-year-old has been a mainstay in the Three Lions backline under Southgate.
