Mourinho Reveals NINE Man Utd Players Are Injured Ahead Of Sevilla, Chelsea Games
Published: February 19, 2018
Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho has revealed that nine first-teamers are sidelined through injury ahead of two crucial games against Sevilla (Champions League, Feb 21) and Chelsea (Premier League, Feb 25).
Daley Blind, Marcus Rashford, Antonio Valencia, Ander Herrera, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Marouane Fellaini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are on the treatment table, while Paul Pogba was absent for the FA Cup clash against Huddersfield due to illness.
"I didn't rest one single player, so we had every player available here,'' Mourinho was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
''I brought two kids (Ethan Hamilton and Angel Gomes) that played 90 minutes yesterday (for the U23s) because I don't have another player.
"Can we recover some of them for Wednesday? I believe so.
"Rashford, Herrera, Valencia, I think they have a chance. Paul (Pogba), I don't know.
"Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones, Marouane, Zlatan - I don't think they have any chance, so we arrive at this crucial moment with some problems.''
Despite the absence of these key players, United progressed to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup with a 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town on Saturday.
