Eriksen suffered an ankle injury in the FA Cup game against Reading, which left the United fans worried. He was seen leaving Old Trafford on crutches after the game. Due to this scene, fans expected that Eriksen’s debut season at Old Trafford will end up prematurely. However, he is expected to be back in the squad very soon.
Eriksen sat for a chat with United’s media team and explained his current situation. Eriksen said, “Yeah, it is going well. I have just started being outside as you saw [on Instagram] with football boots on,” the Man United website read.
He added, “And then we take it from there, that is the next step. I have been in the gym for some weeks now and now it is 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.”

The midfielder has stayed in England during the International break to do rehabilitation sessions.
Manchester United will need Eriksen’s influence in the midfield to finish the season on a high note. The Red Devils have already won the EFL Cup this season, and are eyeing the FA Cup and Europa League. Alejandro Garnacho, Eriksen, and Donny van de Beek are players unavailable for United due to injuries. The biggest setback came recently when in-form man Marcus Rashford withdrew his name from the England squad due to an injury.
Eriksen in his debut season at Old Trafford has impressed everyone with his performance. He has 7 assists to his name this season in the Premier League which is still the most by any United player this season. The Denmark international now has 9 assist total this season and 2 goals for United.
