Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Bournemouth

Man Utd injury, suspension list vs. Bournemouth

Manchester United will endeavour to claim their second successive Premier League victory in the space of four days when they welcome Bournemouth to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.

The Red Devils picked up maximum points when they beat Chelsea 2-1 on home soil on Wednesday night courtesy of a brace from Scott McTominay.

Erik ten Hag remains under pressure to turn Man United's fortunes around, but the midweek win has seen them hold sixth place in the top-flight standings as well as move to within three points of rivals Manchester City in fourth spot.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up their latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Andoni Iraola's side.


Victor Lindelof

Victor Lindelof, who was taken off at half time against Chelsea, has been ruled out by Ten Hag for Saturday's match due to an unspecified injury.


Casemiro

Casemiro picked up a hamstring injury during the EFL Cup defeat to Newcastle United on November 1, and the midfielder is not expected to return to first-team action before Christmas.


Lisandro Martinez

Lisandro Martinez, who underwent a second operation on a foot injury in October, still requires more time with his recovery and the defender may not return to first-team action until the New Year.

Tyrell Malacia is yet to play for Man United this season due to a long-term knee injury and the left-back is targeting a return at some stage in the New Year.

Christian Eriksen picked up a knee injury in the win over Luton Town last month, and Ten Hag recently confirmed that it will take "some weeks" before the playmaker returns to the first-team fold.

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Calf Possible return date: December 9 (vs. Bournemouth)

Mason Mount has missed Man United's last four games in all competitions with a calf problem, and the midfielder remains a doubt for the visit of Bournemouth.


Amad Diallo

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: December 9 (vs. Bournemouth)

Amad Diallo has not made a single appearance for the Red Devils this season due to a knee injury, but he has returned to full first-team training this week and could be named in the matchday squad to face Bournemouth.

Marcus Rashford, who was dropped to the substitutes' bench against Chelsea, missed training on Friday due to illness and the attacker has emerged as a doubt for the visit of Bournemouth.
