Hojlund has already had injury issues at the beginning of his United career, arriving with a back problem that kept him from making his debut nearly a month after joining the club. After that collision which left the Dane clutching his back, there were concerns over a recurrence of an issue that has previously plagued him – having provided an update at full-time.
“I still haven’t seen how my back is doing,” he said. “Right now, I feel it’s okay, but I don’t know how I’ll be tomorrow morning. People know that I’ve had issues with my back before, which kept me out. So, it’s a frustrating situation I’m in now.”
United will be hoping that the challenges from San Marino have not forced Hojlund to spend some time on the sidelines after a string of positive performances, as Erik ten Hag and co will want to name him in the team for the trip to Sheffield United on Saturday evening.
