Rasmus Hojlund - Won't play vs. Saints Hojlund (hamstring) won't play against Southampton on Saturday, manager Erik ten Hag told media Thursday. "[Hojlund and Shaw are] progressing very well, but are not ready for this... Impact The manager is not aiming to rush the striker in his return to action following the injury he sustained in the preseason, and it seems he'll be out for, at least, another week. This means the earliest he might return to action will be the matchup against Crystal Palace on Sep. 21. Joshua Zirkzee could start upfront while the Danish forward is out, although slotting Bruno Fernandes in a striker role is also an option for the Dutchman.
