Sofyan Amrabat has withdrawn from international duty with Morocco due to injury.
The midfielder was due to represent his nation in their final Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Liberia before facing Burkina Faso in a friendly. Thankfully, the Atlas Lions have already secured their spot in the tournament.
For United though, it’s just an added concern among the heap right now. Injury-wise, Amrabat will join Mason Mount, Luke Shaw Raphael Varane, Tyrell Malacia, Tom Heaton, Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo on the sidelines.
