Erik ten Hag refuses to rule Bruno Fernandes out of Man United’s top-four clash with Tottenham, despite ankle injury he picked up in FA Cup semi-final
Bruno Fernandes still has an outside chance of being fit for Manchester United’s top-four battle with Tottenham on Thursday night.
Fernandes suffered an ankle injury in United’s FA Cup semi-final win over Brighton at Wembley on Sunday, and was pictured with his foot in a protective foot next to a set of crutches.
But Erik ten Hag has not ruled Fernandes out of the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and will give the Portugal star every chance to be fit.
‘We have to see how Bruno Fernandes is, we don’t know yet,’ said Ten Hag.
‘It is more often that players be protected for prevention but it has to settle. You have seen he played a full game and it happened in the first half. Tomorrow is quick but we have to see from now what is possible.’
