Jonny Evans is also unavailable for the Bournemouth fixture with what the club have described as a “short-term” muscular injury.

It does suggest that the 36-year-old won’t be out for very long, and he could return to the team for the trip to Wembley next weekend.


Expected Return Date – Sunday 21st April v Coventry City (FA Cup)

Raphael Varane is set to be sidelined for the next few weeks with a muscular problem he sustained in the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea.

Lisandro Martinez (calf) and Victor Lindelof (thigh) are expected to spend similar periods of time on the treatment table.

Expected Return Date – Monday 6th May v Crystal Palace
