Fosu-Mensah Added To United's Injury List
Jose Mourinho will have two more absences to overcome when he selects his United team to face Swansea City this weekend, after a dismissal and an injury blighted the latter stages of Thursday's draw with Manchester City.
Marouane Fellaini's straight red card following a clash with City striker Sergio Aguero means he will be suspended for Sunday's Premier League match and one of the players who came on for United in the aftermath, Tim Fosu-Mensah, was subsequently injured.
The young Dutch defender replaced Armenian attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the 86th minute, just after Fellaini was sent off, as Mourinho looked to secure a point with one less player on the pitch.
"Tim Fosu-Mensah is injured," the United manager told Sky Sports.
"He’s really injured in the last action of the game, in the last tackle he was on the floor, and it's also an important injury."
The blow to Fosu-Mensah follows the confirmation that Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo both suffered significant knee injuries in the previous Thursday's match against Anderlecht in the Europa League. On a more positive note, Juan Mata revealed in his weekly blog that "I’m feeling much better now and I hope to be back with the team soon, to try to help in the last spell of the season."
