Man Utd handed boost ahead of next PL game as Nottingham Forest dealt huge injury blow today
Manchester United resume Premier League action on April 1 with a trip to the City Ground stadium to take on Nottingham Forest, and they have received a boost ahead of the game after the Reds suffered a huge injury blow.
They could be without Chris Wood after the New Zealand international sustained an apparent hip injury during their World Cup 2026 qualifier against New Caledonia in the early hours of today, and not having to face him will be good news for the Red Devils.
The Forest star could miss several weeks after he was taken off and was seen limping heavily, and he is expected to be unavailable against Man United from the look of things.
Wood has 18 Premier League goals and three assists so far this term, and being without him when the Red Devils come visiting will be a huge blow for manager Nuno Espirito Santo given how influential he has been so far in the final third.
Forest are currently third in the league table after 29 games and would have fancied their chances against Man United were the 33-year-old fit, but they could struggle in his absence given that he has featured in every of their league fixtures so far in 2024-25.
The Red Devils headed into the international break on the back of a 3-0 victory over Leicester City and are in dire need of an impressive run between now and the end of the campaign if they are to finish in the European places.
