Another Manchester United player has been ruled out of action for the coming international break, as Nemanja Matic will not feature for Serbia against Germany and Portugal.
Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial have already withdrawn from the England and France squads respectively with injury, while Victor Lindelof pulled out of the Sweden squad for personal reasons.
Matic played 86 minutes of United's FA Cup defeat to Wolves at the weekend - his second game in a row since returning from a four game absence through injury.
But Serbia coach Mladen Krstajic confirmed that Matic was injured ahead of the friendly with Germany, telling the Serbian FA official website: "Nemanja Matic will not play in Wolfsburg, nor in Lisbon.
"He played the last match in the club but did not stay in the field until the end."
Matic was one of the ten United players injured last month, causing youth players like James Garner, Angel Gomes, Tahith Chong and Mason Greenwood to step up.
He missed the Premier League draw against Liverpool, and the wins over Crystal Palace, Southampton and Paris Saint-Germain, but returned in the 2-0 defeat at Arsenal.
Some United players will use the international break to continue their recoveries from injury - like Jesse Lingard, Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku.
And Solskjaer will hope the injury to Matic is not serious enough to keep him out of the home game against Watford in the Premier League on March 30.

I think Mctominay should step up 👆 permanently. Matic work rate is fading already after his injuries.

In fact let him be ruled out for the rest of the season.

It's every club's worry that players don't sustain injuries on International duties. It's inevitable!

I think we should continue with the youth alongside the experience ones
Yeah we might have a bugger chance of winning Barca like that

I think that's good, United won PSG with an injured team United lost to Wolves with the full main squad except De Gea, only says a lot about the youngsters maybe we should give them more chances

I don't think this will affect us because the youth are hungry for success. if man united give the youth chance to play we will be good

Magic has not yet fully fit ,we all see him against wolves, he shouldn't have proceed on international duty.get well soon

I am sick n tired of Man Utd injury crisis? what kind of players are these by the way? its not like they r good enough to be at the club. the least these useless players can do is be available 4 OSG n yet they still cant do that. all they do now is get paid 4 getting injured! Man Utd need to act fast by offloading most of these overrated shits in the squad n recruit serious top players to mount a title challenge next season.

I hope he stays there cos since he returned it has loss loss, packing ball behind without those scintillating displays by united players on the pitch again

Wow.. probably the best news. McTominay's time has come to show his class. Maybe Fred too. Ole just needs to manage these two right. Ole needs to be smart with injured players. He must not bring partly unfit players early into the team. He should stop panicking. Our fringe players have won us against PSG. so ole should trust those guys.

I've said earlier on ds platform dt the way Solskjaer is managing our injury players is alarming. his management of injury players is causing extral problem, Matic was jst coming from injury and u featured him directly against Arsenal, same thing wt Martial, also Lingard against Liverpool.. there is how to manage a player who is jst recovering from injury so as nt to create additional problem.... even Rashford was suppose to rest after Liverpool game and he didn't rest him

The youths players are more serious than those seniors players, for my opinion I will prefer Mctominay than matic in that defending DM my only concern there is Luke Shaw, martial, lukaku and lingard
