Man Utd suffer blow ahead of Fenerbahce clash with player major doubt for Europa League match

Manchester United's injury list has increased after the Red Devils were hit with a blow ahead of the trip to Fenerbahce.

After coming from behind to end a five-game winless run against Brentford at the weekend, United travel to Istanbul to play Jose Mourinho's side in the Europa League.

United are still yet to taste victory in Europe this season, having drawn against both FC Twente and FC Porto.

But Erik ten Hag has to contend with another first-team absence for the clash, with it being reported that Jonny Evans missed training on Wednesday.

Amid an injury crisis at the back, the veteran centre-back has become hugely important for United of late and started the last two games.

But Mark Critchley reported that Evans was not present in the latest training session due to a knock he suffered.

He has therefore been deemed a doubt to play against Fenerbahce, giving Ten Hag another issue at the back.

In the Brentford clash, Evans partnered a bloody Matthijs de Ligt in central defence - with Lisandro Martinez filling in at left-back.

With Evans out, Martinez could revert back to centre-back - and Noussair Mazraoui filling in at full-back after recovering from a recent heart procedure.

Victor Lindelof is another option in defence for the fixture after being on the fringes this term.

Bruno Fernandes has been given a couple of days off training as he is suspended for the Fenerbahce.

However, in a boost for Ten Hag and United, summer signing Leny Yoro has returned to individual training.

The 18-year-old centre-back signed from Lille in a £52 million switch in the summer window but suffered a metatarsal injury in a pre-season game against Arsenal.

Yoro was forced to undergo surgery which left him on crutches but having been on the treadmill lately, he has now taken an important step towards his recovery in getting back on the grass.
