Manchester United and Brentford will both have players on the sidelines for their Premier League clash this weekend.
Ruben Amorim is currently preparing the United squad to face the Bees in their trip to the Gtech Community Stadium in the Saturday lunchtime kick-off. United go into the game having beaten Chelsea at Old Trafford last weekend and will now be determined to get all three points away from home.
United will be without several members of their squad for the clash against Brentford. One player who has been ruled out is Amad Diallo, who will not feature after being granted compassionate leave after suffering a family bereavement.
“Amad is not here, someone in his family passed away and we are giving all the support to him.
“For Amad, we are here for him, it’s a tough moment. In these kind of moments it’s not the most important thing [football]. We can win without Amad, but also we want to win for Amad.”
United will also be without Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez, who are both sidelined with injuries. Casemiro is also unavailable as he serves a one-game suspension for the red card he picked up in the win over Chelsea.
Brentford are also expected to see some of their key players unavailable for selection. Reiss Nelson is a doubt after suffering from illness in the days leading up to the clash against United.
Gustavo Nunes and Paris Maghoma are expected to miss the game due to injury, with the duo yet to make an appearance for Brentford so far this season.
