Manchester United will be without Amad Diallo for Sunday’s Premier League trip to Tottenham.
United beat Leicester 2-1 in the FA Cup last time out and have since been afforded an extended break, although that has not helped Ruben Amorim bolster his options.
Amad has suffered an ankle injury in training and reports suggest he could miss the rest of the season, in what is a major blow for Amorim.
The winger posted on Instagram: “Extremely disappointed to be writing this message in such a crucial time of the season.
“Unfortunately, I will be out for some time with an injury.”
Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer are all believed to have picked up issues this week as well, leaving Amorim short of options in midfield.
Lisandro Martinez faces an extended period out of action due to a serious knee injury, while Luke Shaw recently suffered a new setback in training.
Neither of Mason Mount nor Jonny Evans will return.
Alejandro Garnacho could come back into the starting lineup, having started on the bench against Leicester. January signing Patrick Dorgu may be handed a first League start.
The United squad have been hit by a sickness bug ahead of the Spurs game, though it remains to be seen how serious an issue that is.
