Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has two fresh injuries to contend with ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
James Wilson and Memphis Depay both picked up injuries during United’s penalty shootout defeat against Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup during the week and have been ruled out of tomorrow’s game.
The pair join Antonio Valencia, Paddy McNair and Luke Shaw on the sidelines. Valencia suffered a foot injury last week in the Manchester Derby while McNair and Shaw are out with long-term injuries.
However, the boss told MUTV that he does not know how long they will be out for:
Willo was injured but also Memphis Depay was injured. It was a very bad game afterwards because we lost on penalties and also we lost two players. We have to wait and see [how long they are unavailable for] because it was only two days ago.
Wilson made his first start of the season on Wednesday night but was taken off at half-time for Wayne Rooney due to the injury, while Memphis played 71 minutes before being replaced by Anthony Martial.
There is good news for the Dutchman, with Ashley Young edging closer to full match fitness after coming off the bench to replace Marcos Rojo in midweek. The 30-year old had been out of action for the last three games after suffering an injury in the 3-0 defeat to Arsenal before the international break.
