Erik ten Hag makes Bruno Fernandes decision for Tottenham clash after Man Utd concern

Bruno Fernandes has been spotted with the travelling Manchester United squad heading to London for their Premier League clash with Tottenham tonight (Thursday).

There was concern regarding the Portugal international's availability for the game after he was subbed off in the FA Cup semi-final win over Brighton. Following his withdrawal he was spotted with ice strapped to his ankle, with Fernandes' wife posting an Instagram story at the beginning of the week showing his left foot was in a boot with crutches laid beside him.

Erik ten Hag confirmed Fernandes was a doubt for the game in his press conference on Wednesday when he said: "We have to see how Bruno Fernandes is, we don't know yet. He is a question mark." A matchday squad involvement now looks to be the bare minimum for the United skipper as he was pictured with the travelling contingent.

The clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is of huge importance for both teams in their respective European ambitions. United currently sit fourth on 59 points with Spurs in seventh place, six points behind their next opponents.

The hosts will be looking to bounce back from the 6-1 battering at the hands of Newcastle last weekend which saw interim head coach Cristian Stellini relieved of his duties. Ryan Mason is now set to take over the reigns until the end of the season and he has since expressed his desire to be Tottenham's next permanent manager.

Injury doubts are also prominent in north London with the availability of club captain Hugo Lloris currently unknown. Clement Lenglet and Ben Davies could also miss out, with Mason revealing the defensive duo would be monitored in training ahead of the game.
