Manchester United’s Christian Eriksen is set to be out until at least late April after sustaining an ankle injury in his side’s FA Cup win over Reading on Saturday.
“[He] is expected to be out of action for an extended period,” the club said in a statement.
“There is hope that Christian can return in time to play a role in the final stages of the season.”
The Denmark midfielder has made 31 appearances for United this season.
The former Ajax, Tottenham, Inter Milan and Brentford player signed a three-year contract at Old Trafford in the summer.
“While investigations are continuing, initial assessments indicate that Eriksen is likely to be out until late April or early May,” the club added.
