"It is expected that he will be out for an extended period, due to the injury suffered in the ankle in the victory of Saturday against Reading, in the FA Cup", referred the 'red devils', admitting a return only in the end of April or beginning of May.
The Danish midfielder was injured in the 57th minute, after suffering a hard foul from Andy Carroll, who in the space of five minutes saw two yellow cards, the first for a foul on Eriksen, and was sent off.
Eriksen, 30, has been an important part of Ten Hag's strategy, with the player appearing in 31 games for the 'red devils', 27 as a starter, between the Europa League, championship, FA Cup and League Cup , with two goals scored.
