Manchester United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat has been ruled out of Saturday’s game against Brighton due to injury. 

The deadline day loan signing from Fiorentina pulled out of the Morocco squad due to injury last week. 

Man United were aware Amrabat had a slight problem with his back but still allowed him to join up with his national side.

But the 27-year-old sat out the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Liberia and the friendly with Burkina Faso as a precaution.

And Amrabat will also miss the Premier League encounter with Brighton on Saturday, but United boss Erik ten Hag expects him to be fit again soon.

Mason Mount, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have also been ruled out of the game by injury.

Winger Antony is currently spending time away from the club while he addresses allegations of domestic abuse. 

The player denies any wrongdoing and has not been arrested or charged. 

His natural replacement Jadon Sancho has been officially exiled ahead of the game after his public falling out with Ten Hag.
