Darmian Suffers Ankle Injury

Matteo Darmian will be assessed on his return to Manchester after injuring his ankle in the early stages of United's 1-0 triumph at Norwich City.

The Italy international started at left-back with Marcos Rojo moving into the middle to cover Daley Blind's absence. However, the defender was caught when attempting to block Ivo Pinto's run down the flank and stayed down in real discomfort before leaving the field of play and being helped onto a stretcher.

He returned to watch the game from the dug-out and saw Juan Mata bag the crucial winner with 18 minutes left.

"We have to wait and see," said manager Louis van Gaal, after being asked to provide an update on last summer's signing from Torino. "Darmian has a kick on the ankle so we will have to see the reaction tomorrow (Sunday).

"It is too early to say. Now he is walking in a brace but, tomorrow, it can be good again because a kick is a kick."
