WHAT THEY SAID: When asked what the issue was that forced Hojlund off late in the second half, Ten Hag said: "In this moment, I can’t tell anything about it because I don’t know. We do an assessment and we have to wait 24 hours for the conclusion. So we’ll give the medical team 24 hours to see what the problem is, if there is a problem."
