West Ham United: Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said that the ongoing injuries to players are holding them back in the season. United played a 1-1 draw against Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday as they were without 10 first-team players and nine because of injury. "Yes, it holds us back in our levels and also in our position in the league. When you don’t have the players available, you can't line up the best team," said Ten Hag.

"We need more players available often. We all have to work together on this point - the players, the coaching staff, and all the other staff. We have to do better at that because we know when we have them we are a really tough team to play and we can be really successful," he added.

Ten Hag hopes Jonny Evans can join Bruno Fernandes in being available for Sunday’s Premier League trip to West Ham United. Fernandes missed Thursday’s game due to suspension while Evans was not part of the 20-man travelling squad, due to injury.
