Paul Pogba out of Manchester United's trip to AZ Alkmaar in Europa League
Anthony Martial, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw also absent from 21-man squad
Wednesday 2 October 2019 17:49, UK
Paul Pogba has not been included in Manchester United's squad for their trip to AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League due to a recurring foot problem.
Pogba played 90 minutes in the 1-1 draw against Arsenal on Monday but following a specialist's opinion, the France international requires a period of further rest and conservative treatment for the foot injury he sustained during the game against Southampton in August.
Anthony Martial and Phil Jones will also sit out the trip with injury, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw haven't travelled.
Wan-Bissaka missed the clash with the Gunners due to tonsillitis, while Shaw has been absent since picking up a hamstring injury during the 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Diogo Dalot and Angel Gomes have been included, while left-back Brandon Williams could follow up last Wednesday's senior debut with a first European appearance for United.
