No Rasmus Hojlund! Why Man Utd striker isn't in squad to face Nottingham Forest - just one game after scoring his first Premier League goal

Premier League

Ipswich

Manchester United have confirmed that Hojlund will miss the game against Forest due to illness. The news is a blow for both player and manager Erik ten Hag alike, particularly as he finally scored his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-aston-villa-alejandro-garnacho-rasmus-hojlund/blt90013af6db346849" target="_blank">first Premier League goal last time out</a> to seal a stunning comeback against Aston Villa. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rasmus-hojlund-happiest-man-alive-ending-man-utd-goal-drought-alejandro-garnacho-slams-people/blt70821ed262c8c348#csdde3ee07bdf949fe" target="_blank">Hojlund admitted after the game he was the "happiest man alive" after finally ending his goal drought</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The news means that Hojlund misses the chance to build on his goal and he joins a lengthy list of absentees for Ten Hag. Injuries have plagued United all season with Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro, Harry Maguire and Mason Mount also out of the game. However, there is some good news for Ten Hag, as Amad Diallo has been named in the matchday squad for the first time since recovering from injury. Amad was named on the bench for the match, with Antony taking Hojlund's place in the starting XI.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

It took Hojlund 1,026 minutes to score his first Premier League goal for Manchester United.

DID YOU KNOW?

Ten Hag will be hoping that Hojlund is not out for long, although the Red Devils do have just two fixtures scheduled for January. United take on Wigan in the third round of the FA Cup on January 8 and then play Tottenham in the Premier League on January 14.
