Rashford returns from injury, Maguire misses Manchester derby due to injury


The 2022/23 Premier League season will usher in a city derby between Manchester City and Manchester United this Sunday. At present, Manchester United striker Rashford has returned from injury, but captain Maguire was injured in the UEFA Nations League game, so most of them will not play in this focus game.


Maguire represented England in the UEFA Nations League earlier, but he was unable to show a good performance to respond to the doubts about him from all walks of life. In England's match against Germany, Maguire also caused the ball due to two mistakes. The team conceded the ball, making him the object of criticism by fans again.


More unfortunately, Maguire returned to Manchester United with a foot injury. According to British media reports, Maguire may need to rest for at least two weeks. However, Maguire was on the bench in the earlier league, so his absence will not have much negative impact, and coach Ten Hag also has room to arrange Martinez and Varane to partner as a central defender. .


Ronaldo fears to be a substitute again


In addition, Rashford , who has scored 3 goals and contributed 2 assists in 6 league games this season, has been able to return to training and is expected to play in the Manchester derby. However, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has not performed well in the UEFA Nations League recently, may be arranged on the bench to stand by, and Ten Hag can also arrange for Anthony, Rashford and Sancho to partner on the front line.


On the other hand, midfielder Kante, who played for Chelsea, has re-involved in training after a month of recuperation, and is expected to play in the league away game against Crystal Palace.


Kante suffered a hamstring injury against Tottenham in August and was unable to play the game before Tuchel was sacked or to represent France in the Nations League.
