Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has been ruled out of action after suffering a muscle injury.
United confirmed the injury setback in a statement on Friday, stating he is expected to be out for two to three weeks.
“Rasmus Hojlund will miss Manchester United’s Premier League game against Fulham on Saturday due to a muscle injury. It is expected to keep him out for two to three weeks,” the club said.
Hojlund has enjoyed an unbelievable run of form which has seen him score seven goals in his last six Premier League games.
But his momentum has been halted and he will be out of Saturday’s meeting with Fulham.
After the game with Fulham, United will face Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup fifth round, before turning their attention to the derby against Manchester City.

If the club’s predicted return timeline proves to be accurate, Hojlund will not be able to take on the Premier League champions.
A two-week absence could see the 21-year-old return against Everton on March 9, otherwise the clash with Sheffield United seven days later could be a possible return target.
