LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Manchester United’s trio of Antony, Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial will not travel to Barcelona for Thursday’s Europa League match because of injury.
Antony reportedly has leg injury and McTominay’s issue is undisclosed while Martial is dealing with hip problem.
The three players join Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek as first-team members currently injured.
Additionally, Lisandro Martinez and Marcel Sabitzer will miss Manchester United’s first leg against Barcelona because of suspension.
Casemiro is serving a three-match domestic ban but is available for the European fixture.
The injuries and suspensions leave Manchester United short-handed, and Eriken Hag will lean on some players who aren’t usually in his first-choice plans.
