Anthony Martial will miss Manchester United’s Europa League tie with Omonia Nicosia on Thursday night as he battles to be fit for this weekend’s clash with Newcastle at Old Trafford.
Martial’s first start of the season at Everton on Sunday was cut short after less than half an hour when he went off with a back strain – his third injury since Erik ten Hag took over in the summer.
Ten Hag confirmed that the Frenchman will miss the Group E game against Omonia at Old Trafford, along with Harry Maguire, Donny van de Beek and Aaron Wan Bissaka, but could be in contention against Newcastle on Sunday.
