Leeds United’s forthcoming opponents Manchester United have been dealt an injury blow which has ruled a Red Devils star out of both Premier League clashes against the Whites.

Danish international midfielder Christian Eriksen suffered an ankle injury in Saturday’s 3-1 victory at home to Reading in the FA Cup fourth round. Eriksen was taken off in the 57th minute after being caught by Royals striker Andy Carroll and Manchester United have now released an injury update about the midfielder’s condition.

The Red Devils say that “while investigations are continuing, initial assessments indicate that Eriksen is likely to be out until late April or early May.” Leeds are approaching two Premier League fixtures against their arch rivals from Manchester in the space of five days.
