Man Utd suffer fresh injury blow ahead of Crystal Palace game

Manchester United have suffered a fresh injury blow with Harry Maguire picking up a muscle problem in the lead up to the Crystal Palace game.

The Red Devils have been hampered by numerous injury concerns this term and they are currently without four central defenders with injuries.

Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez have been sidelined in recent weeks and they have now been joined by Maguire.

This leaves the club short in the central defensive department, considering Jonny Evans has only just returned to training after his setback.

Casemiro has been playing as a makeweight alongside him. The duo could have a huge role to play between now and the end of the league season.

Varane, Lindelof, Martinez and Maguire are all anticipated to return before the FA Cup final, but there is no guaranteed timescale at the moment.

United are currently eighth in the table after Chelsea's win over West Ham and they must pick up a point tomorrow to regain their position.
