Manchester United manager Louis
van Gaal suffered more injury
misery last night as two more
players were added to their walking
wounded.
United's list of injuries now stops
after at an incredible 12 first-team
players, with Luke Shaw and Angel
Di Maria both hurting themselves
while in action last night.
Shaw had to be taken off at half-time
during England's win over Scotland
after picking up knock that caused
pain in his hamstring.
Speaking after the game the left-
back, who would join four other
defenders on the sideline were he to
miss the game, said: "We will just
have to see but I am hoping to be
fit."
Playing against Portugal at Old
Trafford, Di Maria went down,
unbelievably, under a heavy tackle
from Manchester United loanee Luis
Nani.
Argentina boss Gerardo Martino said
the injury wasn't "anything serious",
with Di Maria playing on, but Van
Gaal will need his best players fully
fit against Arsenal.
Those two injuries added to the
three that had already been picked
up during the international break.
Michael Carrick pulled out of the
England squad with a groin injury,
David De Gea dislocated a finger in
Spain training and Daley Blind
suffered suspected knee ligament
damage during the Netherlands' win
over Latvia.
That leaves Louis van Gaal with a
massive 10 first team players
potentially missing for the crunch
Premier League clash against
Arsenal,
Jesse Lingard remains sidelined, as
do defenders Jonny Evans, Marcos
Rojo, Phil Jones and Rafael.
