The team's top scorer Rashford suffered an unfortunate injury, suspected to be a groin injury, late in the game after a 2-0 win over Ivoryton in a Premier League home game on Saturday (8). Coach Tannhäuser expressed concern over Lashford's injury after the game, noting that the intensive fixture schedule may have been the key to his injury.
Speaking about Lashford's injury, Tanhag said: I don't know the specifics, but a player who plays multiple games in a short period of time and doesn't recover enough will naturally raise the risk of injury. At present, Lashoufoort's injury is still unclear, even he can not know exactly, we can only wait for the diagnosis, but it looks like the situation is not optimistic.
Then, Tanhag directed the question to the schedule: while injuries are unavoidable, the schedule is manageable. We just played our last game last Sunday, and then we have to face our first game this Saturday. It's like being punished for success when we've managed to reach the EFL Cup final before and have to deal with such an intensive schedule, which shouldn't happen.

In the remaining matches of the season, not only do they have to deal with the Premier League, but also the EFL Cup and UEFA Europa League, the physical strength of the players is really tested.
