EPL: He’s not always available – Ten Hag speaks on Martial’s absence from Man Utd squad

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has spoken about Anthony Martial’s continued injury problems.

Ten Hag has had to rely on loan signing Wout Weghorst in attack.

Martial has been ruled out of their Premier League match with Leeds United on Wednesday, because of a hip problem.

It will be the 21st game he has missed already this season.

The French striker has not completed 90 minutes in the Premier League in over two years.

“I think Anthony Martial is the player who has spent the most hours at Carrington this season, to return to recover, to get back, it is really so a pity for him that he is disappointed.

“He is not always available and we want him to be always available because that will improve our game and because routines can’t become routines when you are not always available,” Ten Hag said.
