Manchester United have been dealt a blow ahead of Saturday’s Premier League game against Nottingham Forest with Rasmus Hojlund unavailable for selection.
The summer signing from Atalanta finally broke his Premier League duck at the 15th time of asking against Aston Villa earlier this week and would’ve hoped to build on that momentum.
Erik ten Hag will, however, be without the Denmark international due to illness and has been forced to make changes to his forward line once again.
Hojlund’s absence meant a return to the starting line-up for Antony, with Amad Diallo back in the first team squad and rewarded with a place on the bench following his return to fitness.
