Saturday 3 November 2018 12:26, UK
Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku did not travel with the rest of the squad to face Bournemouth because of an injury.
Lukaku, 24, was omitted from United's line-up to face the Cherries in Saturday's Premier League fixture after he suffered an unspecified injury in training on Friday afternoon.
Manager Jose Mourinho does not yet know the full extent of the problem and says the Belgium international will be assessed in the next couple of days following the game at the Vitality Stadium.
"In training yesterday, after the press conference, he felt something that needs to be studied in the next couple of days", Mourinho said ahead of the game.
"So Lukaku has not come and we decided to start with Alexis (Sanchez)."
