Manchester United midfielder Marcel Sabitzer has been ruled out for the rest of the season.
The on loan midfielder was not in the squad which beat Wolves at the weekend and he will play no further part, the club have confirmed.
The club have confirmed Marcel Sabitzer has suffered a meniscal injury, which will keep him out of the remainder of the campaign.
This will include the FA Cup final, set to played at Wembley on June 3.
Marcel Sabitzer injury
Manchester United confirmed in a statement the club is ‘disappointed’ to lose Marcel Sabitzer for the rest of the season.
The statement read: “Everyone at the club is disappointed to lose Marcel’s services, as the Reds chase a strong finish to the season in the Premier League and FA Cup, and we are grateful for his contribution to our progress so far.”
Sabitzer joined on a loan on transfer deadline day, signed as cover for Christian Eriksen, who was out injured.
Eriksen has since returned, however, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek are still themselves sidelined with injury.
Sabitzer’s injury reduces the case for him to be signed on a permanent basis at the end of the season, which was already a borderline case.
He has shown flashes of quality, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
While not a starter, Sabitzer was a rotational option valued by Erik ten Hag, who picked him to start in the recent 1-0 win over Aston Villa.
Sabitzer has spoken highly of United, but it is probable that he has played his final game for the club.
