Blow for Manchester United ahead of West Ham tie

Manchester United will be without suspended Sergio Romero and injured Marcos Rojo when they travel to London Stadium to take on West Ham United on Saturday.

Apart from the two, Mourinho will virtually have a full squad to select as his side targets a fourth consecutive away win in all competitions. The Special One gave the injury update on Friday during his press conference where he confirmed that Rojo is still sidelined.

“Only Marcos Rojo is still out. And obviously Romero now with a one-match suspension. Apart from that, in a 26-player squad, everybody is available,” said Mourinho.

Romero was sent off against Derby on Tuesday night for handling the ball outside his area where he earned his brief ban. Fellow goalkeeper Lee Grant came on as a substitute for the sacrificed Juan Mata and is likely to take the suspended Sergio’s place on a Premier League bench as cover for David De Gea.

Rojo has still not played for United’s first team this season, with a recent 55-minute guest appearance for the Under-23s at Old Trafford being his only action since being injured during the World Cup finals in Russia
