Man Utd's Eriksen provides injury update

Christian Eriksen suffered an injury in Manchester United’s FA Cup fourth round victory against Reading when he was tackled by Andy Carroll. However, he showed on social media that he is already recovering.

Moreover, the 31-year-old spoke about his recovery process on the United podcast: "I'm very good, very well thank you. It's weird not being on international duty, you are normally away and now it's more the thing you are following your national team, and you are here instead of being with them," he said.

The Danish midfielder was asked about the photos he posted on Instagram and his possible return: "It's going well. I have just started being outside as you saw [on Instagram] with football boots on. And then we take it from there, that's the next step. I have been in the gym for some weeks now and now it's time to do the next rehab session outside.

"I think earlier in my career I would have taken it a lot harder than I do now. You learn later on that it's just part of your career. Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you are not," Eriksen continued.

"With this one particularly, when I can't do anything myself, when somebody came on to me, the mindset is just getting back as soon as possible in a healthy, strong way and not to get any setbacks," he concluded.

The Denmark international hopes to be back in training with his teammates soon and Erik ten Hag could have him back for the next few games, even if he only plays a few minutes.
