Mourinho confirms injury of Man Utd star

22 ott 2018

Manchester United and Juventus will do battle at Old Trafford tomorrow evening as both sides look to continue their unbeaten starts to their 2018/19 UEFA Champions League campaign. Jose Mourinho spoke at a press conference ahead of the match, in which he covered a lot of topics – but also revealed one key injury in his squad ahead of the clash.

When asked about Alexis Sanchez, Mourinho replied: “the players you saw are the players that are available, we have nothing to hide, Alexis is out.” When asked about the absence of Antonio Valencia, Mourinho said: “The reason is he was 10 days without training with a problem. Not an injury but a problem that he had very complicated surgery on his mouth. And 10 days without training meant he needed a little bit of time to recover some level after that.”

United are also perhaps to be without Marouane Fellaini, Jesse Lingard, Scott McTominay, Diogo Dalot and Phil Jones – all not spotted by cameras in training, suggesting that they could be unavailable for tomorrow’s game.
