Raphael Varane is the latest Manchester United player to be ruled out for "a few weeks".
United have not specified Varane's injury after he came off at half-time in the 3-2 win against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Varane's lay-off will be mitigated by the upcoming September internationals but the former France international has suffered nine injuries and ailments since he joined United two years ago.
The timing of the 30-year-old's injury further decreases the chances of Harry Maguire leaving United.

The Manchester Evening News reported last week that United expect Maguire to stay after a £30million transfer to West Ham United collapsed earlier this month.
Left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are already missing through injury, while Mason Mount is also absent until after the international break and Rasmus Hojlund is yet to play for United because of a back problem.
