Maguire, Rashford, & Hojlund: Man Utd injury list and expected return dates ahead of Everton clash

Manchester United will be looking to bounce back from their derby day disappointment when they come up against Everton in the Premier League's Saturday lunchtime kick-off this weekend. The Red Devils let a one-goal lead over Manchester City slip on Sunday afternoon, and would eventually succumb to a 3-1 defeat at the Etihad.

That result leaves Erik ten Hag's men sixth in the table after back-to-back losses, but United will be quietly confident of returning to winning ways when they face a struggling Everton side at Old Trafford. The Toffees have not won in the Premier League since mid-December, and currently lie 16th, just five points clear of the relegation zone.

But if United are to beat them on Saturday, they will have to do so without a number of key first team players. With that in mind, we've taken a look at the Red Devils' current injury list, as well as any potential return dates where available, below...

Luke Shaw

Shaw is expected to be sidelined for a while to come after sustaining a muscular injury to his thigh. No concrete timeline for his rehabilitation has been given just yet, but the likelihood is that he will not feature again until the back end of the campaign, if at all.

Lisandro Martinez

Martinez suffered a knee injury in early February, and is understood to be around halfway through his recovery process. Speaking about the Argentine, Ten Hag said: 'Lisandro has sustained an injury to the medial collateral ligament in his knee and is expected to be out of action for at least eight weeks.' It could be early April before we see him back in action.

Anthony Martial

After undergoing surgery on a groin issue, the expectation is that Martial will be available again by the end of March. Any appearance before this month's international break feels unlikely.

Tyrell Malacia

Malacia has been ruled out for quite some time with a knee problem, but the understanding is that he is nearing a return to fitness after a number of delays in his recovery. Speaking about the full-back, Ten Hag said: 'He had setbacks during his rehab process. It takes too long; it's bad for him. Bad for us. But now we've turned a point, and it's positive - he will return soon on the pitch. I don't think then it will take long before he's returning in the team training.' This weekend will probably come too soon, but he should be back this month.

Mason Mount

It's been a frustrating first season at Old Trafford for Mount, but the midfielder has been touted for a return at around the same time as Malacia.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Injured in training, Wan-Bissaka is another who is set to be ruled out for another week or two. The FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool could be a realistic target for the full-back.

Rasmus Hojlund

Hojlund was in electric form prior to picking up a knock in training last month, but while he is likely to miss the clash against Everton, he shouldn't be out of action for too much longer. Speaking about the Dane, Ten Hag said: 'It is a small injury, two to three weeks. That is what happens and the risk [when you are] playing at high intensity, training. As I say, it is not a big injury, but he has to wait for one, two, three weeks.'

Harry Maguire

Details are scarce, but Maguire is believed to be carrying some kind of knock, and will face an assessment ahead of Saturday's match. All being well, he should feature.

Marcus Rashford

Likewise, Rashford is expected to undergo a late fitness test to determine whether he is well enough to feature against the Toffees.

Jonny Evans

And finally, one last doubt for Saturday, Evans too is carrying a knock, and will join a number of his teammates in last minute assessments.
