Manchester United midfielder Angel Di Maria was forced to miss the Boxing Day win over Newcastle through injury.
Manager Louis van Gaal confirmed before kick-off the Old Trafford club’s latest injury but did not specify its nature.
“Di Maria has injured himself at the last training session,” said Van Gaal.
Di Maria has had a succession of fitness problems since joining from Real Madrid for a British record transfer fee and just recently returned against Aston Villa following a three-week absence with a hamstring tear.
