Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. West Ham United

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Premier League showdown with West Ham United at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have the chance to move into the top four on Wednesday night when they host West Ham United at Old Trafford.

Defeat for Leicester City on Sunday means that even a draw would be enough to lift the Red Devils into the Champions League places, while victory would leave them needing only a point on the final day against the Foxes to secure a return to the top-tier European competition.

However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side must bounce back from a convincing 3-1 defeat to Chelsea in their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Sunday as their 19-match unbeaten streak came to a shuddering halt.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: July 22 (vs. West Ham)

Luke Shaw has missed the last two games after twisting his ankle against former club Southampton, and he remains a major doubt for this one despite avoiding any serious injury.


Eric Bailly

Status: Out
Type of injury: Head
Possible return date: Unknown

Solskjaer issued a positive update on Eric Bailly after he was carried away from the field in a neck brace on Sunday following a clash of heads with teammate Harry Maguire, but he is still certain to miss this match.

The Ivorian suffered a cut to the back of the head and Solskjaer has said that he is "hopefully fine" but the fact that he stumbled twice before medics took him away in the neck brace suggests that concussion protocols will come into play, likely ruling him out for the final two games of the Premier League season.


Axel Tuanzebe

Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: Unknown

Axel Tuanzebe will not feature again this season - either domestically or in the Europa League - having been ruled out until September with an unspecified injury.


Phil Jones
