Jose Mourinho reveals Manchester United's Ander Herrera is out for 'few weeks'
Thursday 7 November 2019 12:10, UK
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says midfielder Ander Herrera will be out for a "few weeks" with the hamstring injury he aggravated against Sevilla.
The Spain international injured his hamstring in United's 0-0 Champions League draw with Sevilla and was forced off after just 17 minutes with what Mourinho described as a "bad injury."
Mourinho said: "Ander (Herrera) is out, I don't know the final diagnosis but I know he is out for a few weeks.
"Whether it is two, three, four, five or six I don't know but it will be a few weeks - that is for sure."
Mourinho appeared to be critical of the United medical team after the game claiming Herrera's injury was "proof" he was not 100 per cent fit.

The midfielder has struggled with a muscle problem in recent weeks, but was passed fit to play at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan following assurances from the club's medical team.
Mourinho also gave an update on the rest of United's injured players saying: "coming back from injuries there will be nobody else."
That means that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who returned to training before the Sevilla game, Phil Jones, Marouane Fellaini, Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind will all be missing for Sunday's Sky Live clash with Chelsea at Old Trafford.
