Manchester United injury round-up: Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial and Amad latest

Raphael Varane will once again be unavailable for Manchester United as they play against Atalanta on Wednesday night.

Varane was forced off the pitch in France's Nations League final clash against Spain during the international break.

It was later revealed that Varane sustained a groin injury in that game and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed that the centre-back would be ruled out of action for 'a few weeks', which meant it wasn't a surprise to see Victor Lindelof start against Leicester.

Harry Maguire started in that 4-2 defeat alongside Lindelof despite having only returned to full training one day before that game and, with that poor performance behind him, the United captain should bounce back with 90 minutes under his belt after his return.

Amad is also back in full training after recovering from the injury that scuppered his proposed loan move to Feyenoord.

Anthony Martial wasn't in United's squad for their visit to Leicester, though, and he'll be absent from the squad again versus Atalanta.

"Anthony joined in training today but he’s still not fit enough to join us [for the match]," Solskjaer told United's in-house media.

"So we’re, more or less, a full squad. Raphael is still not with us but Edinson and Fred are back available which is good for us.

As explained by Solskjaer on Tuesday, United almost have a fully fit squad heading into their game against Atalanta and they'll be hoping to deliver a strong performance at Old Trafford as they attempt to respond to the Leciester debacle.
