Jonny Evans Injured in Copenhagen Loss

Manchester United has confirmed that defender Jonny Evans will be out of action "for the next few weeks" after sustaining a thigh injury in their Champions League match against Copenhagen. The 35-year-old had been chosen to partner Harry Maguire in the absence of Raphael Varane but was forced off the pitch after just 13 minutes.

United's Champions League Defeat

Despite taking the lead twice, Manchester United ultimately lost the match against Copenhagen 4-3, with Marcus Rashford also receiving a red card. The defeat puts their hopes of reaching the knockout stage in jeopardy.

Evans to Miss Key Matches

As a result of his injury, Jonny Evans will be unavailable for upcoming Premier League fixtures against Luton, Everton, Newcastle, and Chelsea, as well as a Champions League match against Galatasaray. United hopes to have him back within three-to-four weeks, but his absence could still impact some crucial games.

A Valuable Asset to the Team

Jonny Evans, an academy graduate, returned to Manchester United on a free transfer at the start of the season after leaving Leicester. He has proven to be an impressive deputy in defense, especially with the team facing multiple injury setbacks. However, his absence will be felt as United navigates a challenging schedule.

Other Injury Concerns

In addition to Jonny Evans, Manchester United is dealing with other injury concerns. Full-back Luke Shaw has been out of action since August, while midfielder Casemiro is expected to be sidelined until Christmas. Manager Erik ten Hag is also missing Tyrell Malacia and Amad Diallo due to injuries.
