Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen has detailed how he is progressing in his recovery from a serious ankle injury.

Eriksen was forced to leave Old Trafford on crutches in January after sustaining an ankle injury during the Reds' 3-1 FA Cup win against Reading. The 31-year-old was initially ruled out for three months as a result of Andy Carroll's reckless challenge. The former Brentford man is expected to return to action next month.

The midfielder recently shared a positive injury update with supporters on social media, revealing that he is back on the grass after two months out on the sidelines. Now, Eriksen has opened on his mindset during his setback, insisting he is keen to play a role in the season’s conclusion.

During a new episode of the club's UTD Podcast series - which is set to be released in April - Eriksen spoke about the rehabilitation process and provided a further update on his progress.
