Manchester United vs Brighton & Hove Albion - Fellaini to miss with calf injury
Posted Friday, January 18, 2019 by PA
Alexis Sanchez and Eric Bailly are back for Manchester United this weekend, but Marouane Fellaini will miss the Brighton match and a further month.
Sanchez missed last week’s 1-0 win at Tottenham after a recurrence of a hamstring issue, while centre-back Bailly completed a three-match ban.
Caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed imposing midfielder Fellaini faces up to four weeks out with a calf injury, while defenders Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo are stepping up their rehabilitation.
Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma faces a late fitness test.
The Mali international missed last weekend’s defeat to Liverpool due to a hip problem and will be assessed before the trip to Old Trafford.
Left-back Bernardo (hamstring) and winger Jose Izquierdo (knee) remain sidelined, while Australia goalkeeper Mat Ryan and Iran winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh are still on international duty at the Asian Cup.
