Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic a doubt for Arsenal game
Friday 1 December 2017 16:15, UK
Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic is doubtful for the trip to Arsenal this weekend, Jose Mourinho has confirmed.
Matic - who has been a consistent performer for United in 21 games this season - was substituted during the team's 4-2 win over Watford at Vicarage Road on Tuesday with what Mourinho described as a "muscular" problem.
The 29-year old will travel with the United squad though Mourinho is not confident he will feature against Arsene Wenger's side.
"Matic is a doubt. I hope he can, but I cannot guarantee. He is selected to go, let's see the feeling before the match - let's see the warm-up," Mourinho said.
"I hope he can, I want him to and he wants to, but I cannot guarantee."
