Antony and Diogo Dalot scored the decisive goals to ensure we took all three points from our trip to the City Ground.
Sabitzer had been named in our starting line-up to face Steve Cooper’s side, but his withdrawal from the XI due to injury was confirmed just moments before kick-off, with Christian Eriksen called into midfield in his place.
The Austrian’s setback follows the injuries sustained by Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez in midweek, while Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho are among others who are out of action at the moment through injury.
But Erik remains hopeful that the on-loan Bayern Munich midfielder will soon be back in contention for the Reds’ crucial end-of-season run-in.
