Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez is a major doubt for Saturday’s game with Southampton after suffering a hamstring injury.
The Chilean sustained the injury in training on Thursday and will now be assessed ahead of the match.
A club statement read: “Alexis sustained a hamstring injury in training on Thursday which requires further investigation to confirm severity.”
Sanchez has struggled for first-team opportunities this campaign and was left out of the team that beat Young Boys in the Champions League.
However, United head coach Jose Mourinho expects the 29-year-old to remain at Old Trafford beyond the January window.
Speaking earlier this month, Mourino said: “He has never told me that he wants to leave. He never told me that he’s not happy to stay.
“He is playing like the team. He is improving, like the team is improving, when he plays he is giving us his personality.
“His desire is to play and to produce for the team and [he is] trying to adapt to the way we play and vice versa.
