“He has a small injury”declared the Spanish T1 of the Villans. “He needs to rest and recover. Every day is very important. Tomorrow he won't be available, maybe he can come back the next match.”. England defender Ezri Konsa was also injured during the last international break. Like Onana, he will remain on the sidelines this weekend.
“His words have little impact”, “He takes young people to avoid problems”: this is what the Red Devils really think of Domenico Tedesco
National coach Domenico Tedesco announced on Saturday evening during his press conference in Budapest that Onana was suffering from a foot injury. A few hours earlier, the Football federation announced that the midfielder was not fit and had left the group. Romelu Lukaku, Arthur Theate, Maxim De Cuyper and Roméo Lavia also returned to their respective clubs at the same time, injured.
On the other hand, Emery seems to be able to count on Youri Tielemans again for Saturday's match (4 p.m.) against Crystal Palace. The midfielder gave up two international matches with the Red Devils to recover from a minor knee injury. Tielemans played 90 minutes in the 2-0 league defeat to Liverpool before the international period.
Leandro Trossard (Arsenal) looks ready to play again after being substituted against Israel
Leandro Trossard seems little affected by the (slight) injury he suffered during the Nations League match in Budapest against Israel last Sunday evening. According to Mikel Arteta, his coach at English club Arsenal, the 29-year-old winger has returned to training and feels good.
“Trossard seems to be doing well. He trained this morning and feels good”Arteta said in the press conference ahead of tomorrow/Saturday's home game against Nottingham Forest.
Domenico Tedesco “doesn't fear being fired at all” from his post as Red Devils coach
Trossard had to be replaced after 37 minutes of play in the match against Israel, in which the Devils suffered a painful 1-0 defeat. Johan Bakayoko took his place.
Arteta had less good news regarding defender Ben White. The latter, who had been suffering from knee pain for several weeks, had surgery. The right back, starter in the Gunners team, will be unavailable for “several months”.
Vice-champion Arsenal is fourth in the Premier League after 11 days, nine points behind leader Liverpool.
'No problem' for Lukaku after national team injury
Romelu Lukaku trained normally with Napoli and appears to be available for Sunday's match against AS Roma in Matchday 13 of the Italian Football Championship. Neapolitan coach Antonio Conte indicated this at a press conference on Friday.
“Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay have been training, so there is no problem,” Conte explained, referring to two players who were injured during the international break. “There is still training tomorrow to make the final evaluations concerning the players who returned with some problems,” added Conte, also mentioning the case of Mathias Olivera.
Lukaku withdrew before the Red Devils traveled to Hungary to face Israel in the Nations League (1-0 defeat) last Sunday.
Conte also spoke about Cyril Ngonge, who appeared in good form during his last two appearances. “The players know that I don't look at the name when I make choices, it's up to them to demonstrate me in training or in a match, to put me in difficulty. Cyril is a player who has progressed compared to this summer and who is still progressing, because we need healthy competition.
