Manchester United vs Bournemouth early Premier League injury news: 2 ruled out and 5 doubtful
Man United could be without three players ahead of the Bournemouth game on Monday night next week.
Ruben Amorim will be pleased that his Manchester United side were able to win 4-1 against Wolves on Monday to take them up to sixth in the Premier League table. He will be even more pleased that he gets two Monday night games in a row, so a week’s worth of rest for his best players.
They play against Bournemouth next week, which will be a tough game at Old Trafford, but the Cherries have struggled as of late, so it could be a great chance for United to get three points yet again.
Heading into the game on Monday, there are three players in doubt for Man United in terms of injury concerns. Meanwhile, Bournemouth have four potential absentees, including one of their key defenders.
Bournemouth injury news
In terms of players ruled out for the Cherries, Ben Doak is the first name, as he is dealing with a hamstring injury, which is likely to keep him out until February; It was an issue he suffered in November.
Furthermore, Scotland international Ryan Christie suffered a knee injury against Greece whilst away with the Scottish side. He is set to be out for the majority of December, and so will miss their trip to Old Trafford.
18-year-old centre-back Veljko Milosavljevic is a doubt for the game, as he is currently recovering from a knee injury that he suffered against Everton at the start of the month. The biggest potential absentee for Bournemouth is Marcos Senesi, who is dealing with a hamstring injury after the Cherries’ 0-0 draw against Chelsea.
Manager Andoni Iraola said, “I want to think it's not an injury. He was cramping. I hope it's just a cramp, but we will have to assess him.”
Bournemouth players ruled out: Christie, Doak
Bournemouth players in doubt: Milosavljevic, Senesi
Man United injury news
The Red Devils could be without three players on Monday night. They are all doubts, and could all feature, as none have been ruled out yet. The first is Harry Maguire, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury since late November. He is currently being assessed by the United club staff.
Striker Benjamin Sesko could make his return against Bournemouth too as he has been recovering from a knee injury. Watch out for Ruben Amorim’s pre-match press conference to see if the Slovenian striker will be able to return this week.
Finally, Matthijs De Ligt is also a doubt, as he missed the Wolves game with a knock. Amorim said after the game: “I don't know, sometimes you have an idea, then you have to see day by day. I'm not going to say when he is coming back.”
He is currently being assessed ahead of the Bournemouth game, but may have to miss the game, and return against Aston Villa the following week.
