Adnan Janzuaj and Matteo Darmian will both miss Manchester United’s final Premier League game of the season against Bournemouth.
The Belgian winger has picked up a knock in training ahead of the game on Sunday while Darmian remains sidelined with an ankle problem that he sustained against Norwich City last weekend.
There is some good news for Louis van Gaal however, with Ashley Young returning to training with the squad today and he may be in line for a place on the bench at Old Trafford.
Speaking in his weekly interview with MUTV, Van Gaal said:
Ashley is coming in, so he is restored of his injury and can train tomorrow (Saturday) with our squad. But it is one training session.
Unfortunately, Januzaj has been injured in the training session, so he is out for Sunday. We have to wait and see for the final. The rest is like it was. Darmian is still out but can be in. It is dependable on the progress. Schweinsteiger is out and Shaw is out.
When asked whether Januzaj or Darmian could return in time for the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace in a week’s time, Van Gaal simply said:
They can possibly be back.
However, the Dutchman ruled out any possibility of Luke Shaw playing in the same game, saying that he needs to build up fitness before returning to first team action:
It is a pity because he cannot reach the level to play. He needs more time.
