Heaton on his injury: "It’s not too bad"

Manchester United goalkeeper Tom Heaton was unavailable for the FA Cup match against Fulham because he picked up an injury in the last training session before the game.

As a result, the 36-year-old has been out of action for Ten Hag in recent matches and has provided an update on his ankle injury: "Yeah, unfortunately the day before the Fulham game, I rolled my ankle in training.

"Thankfully, it’s not too bad but it’ll mean a couple of weeks out, I think. I should be back some point in April somewhere, hopefully halfway through," he added.

"It’s an occupational hazard unfortunately, a bit of a random one but, yeah, I just went over on the ankle and nicked the ligament. I’m in this [protective boot] for another few days then hope to get it back moving again," he concluded.
