JONNY EVANS NEWS

Starting against Palace Evans (strain) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace.

Impact Evans is back in the starting XI after training with the team earlier in the week. The defender missed four matches with the muscular issue, so it's a bit of a surprise to see him thrown straight back into the starting XI. Still his return is crucial with Harry Maguire (strain) ruled out.

Impact Evans has already begun the process of his return to the pitch, after missing the last four matches with a strain. His injury ended up being a bit more serious than originally expected, however the good news is the defender will be a late call for Monday, as long as he trains with no issues. Once fit, he is set to start off the bench, with both Casemiro and Harry Maguire set to start at center back.

Remains without timeline Evans (strain) will remain out and doesn't have a timeline to return.

Impact Evans hasn't been mentioned by Erik ten Hag in recent press conferences, which usually isn't a good thing. Originally announced as a minor issue three weeks ago, it's turned into a definite absence. Given the lack of updates, it's hard to know when he'll return, but United are thin at center-back, as Casemiro needed to play on the back line in the recent FA Cup semi-final.

Impact Evans is in doubt, as well as Raphael Varane (undisclosed) who was also brought off with an injury during the 4-3 loss to Chelsea. If both are unable to play against Liverpool it could be Will Kambwala who is forced into the starting XI.

Forced off after 20 minutes Evans was forced off with an apparent injury during Thursday's clash with Chelsea.

Impact Evans made it just 20 minutes after coming on to replace the injured Raphael Varane. It appears Evans has now suffered an injury of his own, putting him in doubt for a Sunday clash with Liverpool. Willy Kambwala came on to replace Evans.

On bench to face Chelsea Evans (undisclosed) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Chelsea.

Impact Evans was expected to be an option Thursday and is, as he makes his return to the team sheet on the bench after a one-match absence due to an undisclosed issue. The defender will now most likely remain on the bench in a rotational role for the rest of the season, earning time here and there in the starting XI, mainly when the club is low on numbers due to injury.

Available against Chelsea Evans (undisclosed) returned to training and is available for Thursday's trip to Chelsea, according to manager Erik ten Hag.

Impact Evans picked up a knock before the break and had to miss a couple weeks, but he's back in training just in time following recent new injuries to Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez. That said, Evans is still expected to be on the bench with Raphael Varane also back in training. Evans has started 12 matches this season and two of the last three in league play.

Sidelined Saturday Evans (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's match against Brentford.

Impact Evans will have to sit out yet another match after missing the club's FA Cup tilt with Liverpool before the break, as he remains out with an undisclosed issue.

Impact Evans looks to be the newest United player to hit the injury report, dealing with an undisclosed issue after he was held out Saturday due to complications he picked up in training. This could be a problem for the team, as they are already limited in the defense. However, with the international break and an additional two weeks to recover before the club's next match, there is a decent chance he could be ready to face Brentford on March 30 if the injury is minor. The defender will now hope for this to come to fruition, although the severity of his injury and a timetable is still unknown, with the club not giving much information about the situation at the moment.

Impact Evans had one of the better performances in the very busy United defense Sunday, notching two interceptions, three tackles and four clearances in the loss. However, he did this all in only 69 minutes of play, as near the 60th minute, he started to have difficulty getting around the pitch, eventually being taken off due to an undisclosed issue. The club will hope for only minor damage, as they are already quite limited in the defense due to a plethora of injuries. However, the club has yet to release anything on the situation, so his current status is unknown.

Excels defensively off bench Evans made one tackle, 11 clearances and two interceptions after coming off the bench during Sunday's 2-1 win over Luton Town.

Impact Evans took the pitch as part of a double halftime substitution and was absolutely brilliant during the second half, more than doubling his previous season-high in clearances to help his side holding onto their one-goal lead to get an important road win. The center-back, who's been in and out of the team throughout this campaign, will hope this performance helps him getting more significant playing time during upcoming games.

Returns in win Evans came off the bench for the final minute of Wednesday's 2-1 win over Chelsea.

Impact Evans was fit enough to make an appearance off the bench during Wednesday's win, and could be a full option for a Saturday clash with Bournemouth. The center-back has actually seen some run in the starting XI of late and with Victor Lindelof (undisclosed) out for Saturday's clash, Evans could start once more.

Out but nearing return Evans (thigh) is out for Sunday's clash with Everton, but is nearing a return, according to manager Erik ten Hag."He is not ready yet but it will not take long,"

Impact Evans missed both matches with Northern Ireland over the international break but is getting close to getting back on the pitch. The defender has been used more than expected due to mixed form and injuries elsewhere in the backline. He should see some run during a jam-packed December schedule.

Missing both games over break Evans (thigh) will miss both matches for Northern Ireland over the international break.

Impact Evans picked up the issue a week ago and was ruled out "a few weeks" following scans, so there's a chance he recovers over the break and is ready for the Nov. 26 trip to Everton. While it's deemed a minor injury, he's 35 years old and dealt with numerous injuries issues his final couple seasons in Leicester. If he isn't ready, Victor Lindelof, Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire all are relatively healthy for United.

Impact Evans hasn't undergone all the scans he will need to fully determine the extent of the injury but Saturday's clash with Luton Town seems to come too soon. The defender pulled up limping after a sprint, so there is obvious concern for a serious muscular issue. With Evans out Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire could be forced into starting together in central defense.

Off early Evans was forced off in the first half of Wednesday's clash with Copenhagen with an apparent injury.

Impact Evans got the start, somewhat surprisingly, and was brought off due to injury early in the first half. Raphael Varane is fit once more and was brought on to replace Evans in the center of the defense alongside Harry Maguire. Moving into the busy December season the hope will be that Evans avoids a serious issue and returns to the pitch. He will have one chance to do so before the international break during Saturday's clash with Luton.

Available as substitute Evans (undisclosed) will be an option off the bench versus Copenhagen on Tuesday.

Impact Evans had started two straight at central defense but now finds himself watching from the bench to open up Tuesday's UCL match. With Sergio Reguilon fit, Evans could struggle to break into the starting XI moving forward, especially with Victor Lindelof now able to shift back to central defense.

Leaves match injured Evans left the pitch in the 84th minute after suffering an apparent knock. He also received a yellow card before leaving the pitch.

Impact Evan's leaving the pitch on Saturday was the last thing United wanted to see, as they already have low numbers in the defensive department with multiple others being out injured. It didn't seem to be too serious, as he was able to walk off the pitch, but with the player's age and constant injury problems, he may be sat for the next couple of matches to be cautious. He was replaced by the newly healthy Raphael Varane, who should replace Evans next match regardless of whether he is healthy or not.
