So apparently, miki could miss the derby due to a thigh injury (we no need this kain early injuries, the reason I fear international breaks) and valencia will definitely miss it as he will return to OT on Friday after his international commitment, meaning that we will be two short in the squad against city if our players come out of their remaining international fixtures unscathed.


Possible match day squad.



GK - De gea

RB - Darmian or even Smalling

LB - Shaw

CB - Bailly and Blind

MF - Pogba, Schneiderlin,

AMF - Mata, Rooney(would have loved rashford), Martial

ST - Ibrahimovic.

As far as i know, the manager has the power to recall his players from international duty early. So maybe Mourinho go fit recall Valencia b4 friday. Coz na only Valencia i fit trust on the right wing to keep Sterling in check

sinizia:
I wish Aguero was not banned. I wanted to test Bailly against him.

Kelechi will do that

Sterling now plays mostly on the right

I don't think Mourinho is going to do that, not when Ecuador is playing their World Cup qualifiers.

i hope jose would persuade antonio to return before Friday, bcuz without antonio in that our back 4, i no go de comfortable. and i hope micki would be fit for the derby, we need our best runners in the that game, if no be say to bench wazza na wahala, i would've love to see a front 3 of martial rash mick behind zlatan.

A club don't have the power to stop a player from featuring for his country in an important match unless it's a friendly. The best the club can do is to appeal to the player and the country

chrisley024:
Kelechi will do that

As a defender, I'll rather face Kelechi than Aguero.

Mourinho doesn't have that right, he can only appeal especially if it's not an important match.

"Mkhitaryan was found to have an injury in the lower third of the left thigh muscle. Such injuries usually require a week to 10 days to heal, which means that Mkhitaryan will miss the Denmark-Armenia match on September 4."
The former Borussia Dortmund playmaker returned to Manchester on Saturday to be assessed by United's medical staff at Carrington

this is why i dont like international breaks

lekkie073:
no. his national team coach confirmed he was taken out as a precaution in order not to aggravate his sitiation

But sky sources are reporting that he might miss it...let's just hope its not too serious

SIRcumalot:

not really,
if city is without aguero we should be able to manage without Micky.

Anyways I would've loved to see Micky more

Lana1:

This is not true. Valencia cannot be recalled early by the club.

Mourinho looking to bring Antoine giezman next summer.


SMH...Rashford turns 19 this season, why opt for a 26 yr old as of next season.

A 27-28 yr old is more realistic...Cheaper options out there, This mans out here on a spending spree.

EARLY TEAM NEWS FOR THE MANCHESTER DERBY

Manchester United will not face Sergio Aguero in next weekend’s Manchester derby after the City striker was suspended for three matches for violent conduct, following an incident involving West Ham United’s Winston Reid.

Aguero had already been ruled out of Argentina’s matches in the current international break with a calf strain, while the Blues will check on the fitness of summer signings Leroy Sane (hamstring) and Ilkay Gundogan (knee), who are yet to play for the club, as well as Bacary Sagna (hamstring) and Vincent Kompany (thigh).

Joe Hart, Wilfried Bony, Samir Nasri and Eliaquim Mangala were among a raft of players allowed to leave on loan by new manager Pep Guardiola this summer, so it’ll be something of a new-look City side that comes to Old Trafford next Saturday.

For United, Henrikh Mkhitaryan reportedly sustained a thigh strain while playing for Armenia on Wednesday night and he has returned to the club, tweeting on Saturday: "My dear fans, I appreciate much that you worry about me, thank you! I'm now back in Manchester for treatment and hope to be fit very soon!"

Marouane Fellaini was not involved in Belgium’s midweek friendly defeat to Spain, with Reds boss Jose Mourinho having revealed that the midfielder picked up a back injury in the victory over Hull City.

Jesse Lingard, who is one of eight outfield first-team players to have remained at the Aon Training Complex during the international break, has not played since the Community Shield win over Leicester City.

Both managers will need to assess their returning international stars before selecting their teams for the derby and Mourinho confirmed that his Latin American players Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo and Sergio Romero will not be back at the training ground until Friday.

It’s already shaping up to be a classic derby, with both sides having won their opening three league games in the same season for only the second time in their history (the first was in 2011/12).

LUKE SHAW WITHDRAWS FROM ENGLAND SQUAD

Luke Shaw has returned to Manchester United after withdrawing from England's squad, ahead of their trip to Slovakia for Sunday's World Cup qualifier.

The Reds left-back felt uncomfortable on Saturday morning and so sat out of training, after which it was decided he should go back to United.

A statement on Saturday read: "The left-back was rested from training at St. George's Park this morning with the medical team continuing to manage his workload.

"With Danny Rose set to start against Slovakia in Trnava tomorrow night, Shaw has been allowed to return to Manchester to train with his club as a precautionary measure.

"Sam Allardyce's remaining 22 players all travelled out to Slovakia this afternoon."

Allardyce later confirmed in a press conference that Shaw was not injured and had returned to Manchester "for precautionary measures".

HENRIKH THANKS FANS
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who was substituted with a reported thigh strain while playing for Armenia on Wednesday, tweeted on Saturday: "My dear fans, I appreciate much that you worry about me, thank you! I'm now back in Manchester for treatment and hope to be fit very soon!"

DESCHAMPS' PRAISE FOR MARTIAL
France coach Didier Deschamps spoke about Martial after the game, saying: "Martial wasn't satisfied of his performance at the Euros. We talked it over. He was a bit worn out after his busy season. But I haven't forgotten what he's capable of. I told him he'd play one half. In these conditions and with his state of mind, he's a real threat for his opponents. It's very good."

VALENCIA MISSES ECUADOR DEFEAT

Oga where you get this picture? Because the former ref only said this...

Clearly from his tweets, he states that the FA has nothing to do with it and neither did he mention anything about sports fixing and bias in the EPL, rather he blames the PGMOL.




No de spread false info around.

Looks like Shaw is unfit/injured. Don't understand this injury prone guy we got.

3 games into the season and this injury plague is back. Good Jose didn't sell.

Guys what's your Take on this Rashford vs Iheanacho debate flying around?
Sentiments apart, Rash for me any day.

Shaw is not injured and is very fit.

He was excluded from team training and sent back to Manchester as a way of Managing his workload. We all know he just came back from a lengthy lay off on the sidelines.
