Manchester United say Kobbie Mainoo will be out ‘for a few weeks’ (Shutterstock)
Manchester United have confirmed that Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire will be unavailable ‘for a few weeks’ ahead of their Premier League clash with Brentford.
Maguire was forced off in the goalless draw against Aston Villa before the international break with a knee problem, while Mainoo also missed England’s two Nations League games.
Elsewhere, Noussair Mazraoui, who underwent a minor procedure after experiencing palpitations, has returned to training with United alongside Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo.
Meanwhile, Manuel Ugarte could be a doubt for United’s match on Saturday after he was forced off in Uruguay’s World Cup qualifier against Ecuador this week.
United have confirmed that the midfielder took part in a ‘recovery session’ on Thursday.
