JAKARTA Manchester United players, Rasmus Hoejlund and Christian Eriksen officially left the Danish squad due to injury.

This means that both players cannot appear to defend their country in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers against Slovenia on November 18, 2023.

Confirmation of the injuries of the two Red Devils players came after the match against Luton in the Premier League on November 11, 2023.

Hoejlund had to leave the field towards the end of the match due to muscle problems. Meanwhile, Eriksen suffered a knee injury in the first half.

Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United coach, at that time could not conclude the injury to his players.

"Right now I can't say anything about it (Hoejlund's injury) because I don't know. We did an assessment, but had to wait 24 hours to see the conclusion. Give them, (the) medical team 24 hours to see what the problem is, is there a problem," Ten Hag said on Sky Sports.

However, in its development, the injuries of the two players were quite serious. Eriksen is expected to be out for about a month and Hoejlund is likely to return to play before the end of November 2023.

Thus, the two players may not only miss Slovenia in the 2026 World Cup Qualification, but also against Northern Ireland on November 21, 2023.
