Man Utd boss faces injury crisis as Amrabat out of action

Manchester United are in 10th place in the Premier League and have lost their last two Champions League games. These poor results are not to be expected from the Red Devils but they are not having their best start to the season.

Dutch manager Erik ten Hag is missing several key players such as Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Amad Diallo, Lisandro Martinez and Aaron Wan-Bissaka due to injury. And the injury list continues to grow due to the international break.

Sofyan Amrabat, who arrived at Old Trafford in the summer transfer window, was absent from Morocco's 3-0 win over Liberia and has been forced to leave the training camp with a back problem.

"We will not hide behind absences, because we knew about Amrabat’s absence before the start of the camp. Amrabat can get injured at some point. We must find a solution and alternative, and we have players capable of filling the void that Sofyan will leave," Morocco coach Walid Regragui told reporters.

On his return to Manchester, the Moroccan midfielder underwent medical tests which, according to reports in England, have shown that he is suffering from back problems and could be out of action for United's next crucial matches.
