Manchester United have been dealt another injury blow with Diogo Dalot forced to withdraw from international duty with Portugal.
The versatile defender has played every Premier League game this season but pulled out due to muscle discomfort.
Portugal confirmed Lazio full-back Nuno Tavares has replaced Dalot, who has returned to Manchester for further assessment.
His absence is a concern for Ruben Amorim, especially with Manchester City and Chelsea fixtures looming immediately after the break.
Adding to the headache, striker Matheus Cunha also limped off during the 3-2 win over Burnley last weekend, reports EPL Index.
Cunha later reassured fans on Instagram, insisting he would be back soon with joy and gratitude despite the setback.
However, Amorim admitted uncertainty over the Brazilian’s condition, leaving United short in attack as the schedule intensifies.
