Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen has been ruled out for up to three months with an ankle injury, dealing a significant blow to the Premier League club’s hopes for the remainder of the season.
The Denmark player, 30, had to come off in United’s 3-1 win over Reading on Saturday in the FA Cup fourth round following a foul by Andy Carroll and a statement from the club on Tuesday said he was “likely to be out until late April or early May”.
That means he will miss the start of Denmark’s European Championship qualifying campaign with matches at home to Finland and away to Kazakhstan in Group H in late March.
