Manchester United have been dealt a blow after Jadon Sancho picked up a minor injury on international duty with England.
England boss Gareth Southgate confirmed that the United new boy had suffered a small injury setback and was due to be assessed ahead of England's World Cup qualifier against Hungary on Thursday night.
Sancho finally arrived at Old Trafford this summer in a £73million deal, drawing a year-long transfer saga to a close.
But the tricky forward could now be set for a spell on the sidelines if the knock is worse than first feared.
Southgate said on Wednesday afternoon: "We've got a small knock with Jadon Sancho this morning, so we're going to assess him. Everyone else is fine for the game."
Picking up a knock is the latest England blow for Sancho after he missed one of the crucial spot-kicks during England's heartbreaking defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.
Sancho was one of three England stars, alongside United team-mate Marcus Rashford and Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, to miss during the penalty shoot-out.
He finally wrapped up his long-awaited switch to United shortly after the tournament.
United fans have had to be patient for a chance to see their new forward in action though.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer elected to take a tentative approach with Sancho after his late return from England duty after the Euros.
The 21-year-old was handed his first start during United's 1-0 win over Wolves just before the international break following a couple of cameo roles from the bench.
Sancho is just one of the talented attackers that United boss Solskjaer can call upon this year as he bids to capture his first trophy since he took to the dugout at Old Trafford.
The return of Cristiano Ronaldo just before the transfer window has further boosted United's firepower - although Solskjaer will still be desperate to ensure that Sancho isn't set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

The Norwegian boss is under pressure to deliver after he was backed heavily by the United hierarchy in the summer.
The club splashed out on big-money deals to secure Sancho, Ronaldo and Rafael Varane - as well as handing Solskjaer a bumper new contract.
But Solskjaer knows that kind of investment needs a return in the form of silverware.
He came close during last year's Europa League final defeat to Villarreal last year but knows that a Premier League title assault is expected this year.
And Sancho is seen as a key component of any bid for glory by the Old Trafford outfit this season.
The England ace racked up an impressive 50 goals across 137 appearances during his time with former club Borussia Dortmund.
Both Solskjaer and England boss Southgate will be hopeful that the initial assessment of Sancho's issue being minor is correct.
Southgate's men also face clashes with Andorra and Poland in the fortnight ahead to kick off their qualification campaign for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
