Man Utd midfielder could miss Sheffield game with back issue

Manchester United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat could be absent for the Premier League clash against Sheffield United this weekend.

The Moroccan joined the club from Fiorentina on loan last month and was sidelined for the first few matches with a back problem.

After his debut off the bench, Amrabat became a regular starter for United, but it seems he may have picked up another injury setback.

Speaking after Morocco's 3-0 win over Liberia, head coach Walid Regragui revealed that Amrabat was injured at the start of the camp.

He added that the midfielder was suffering from a little back problem and it made no sense to take a risk with him on the playing field.

It remains to be seen whether the Moroccan star will recover in time for the Red Devils' trip to Bramall Lane on Saturday evening.

United are on 12 points after eight games into the league season and the game is a must-win to avoid losing ground on the top four.
