Yeovil Town vs Manchester United - Yeovil without banned Otis Khan
Posted Friday, January 26, 2018 by PA
Yeovil must do without midfielder Otis Khan for the FA Cup fourth-round tie against Manchester United as he starts a five-match ban.
Khan was shown a red card in the closing moments of the home defeat by Chesterfield following an altercation with referee Kevin Johnson, and the Football Association handed out an additional two-match suspension for a club appeal which was deemed “frivolous”.
Defender Omar Sowunmi could come back into contention after missing the Chesterfield match because of illness, but on-loan Southampton forward Marcus Barnes is set for at least a month on the sidelines after suffering an ankle ligament injury.
Midfielders Oscar Gobern (hamstring) and Rhys Browne (ankle) both continue their rehabilitation, along with captain James Bailey and defender Dan Alfei (both knee).
New Manchester United signing Alexis Sanchez will be in the squad Jose Mourinho takes to Huish Park.
Reds boss Mourinho has promised to play a “very strong team”, but conceded some players will be rested, with Sergio Romero likely to replace David De Gea in goal as he did in the last round.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (knee) and Eric Bailly (ankle) remain sidelined.
Axel Tuanzebe has joined Aston Villa on loan.
