BRIGHTON, England -- Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been dealt an injury blow with the news that Alexis Sanchez has been ruled out of Sunday's game at Brighton.
Sanchez, 29, did not travel with the team on Saturday afternoon after picking up a problem in training and is now a doubt for Tottenham's visit to Old Trafford on Aug. 27.
Mourinho welcomed Nemanja Matic and Antonio Valencia back to training after injuries, but the trip to Brighton came too soon for them to be included.
Valencia suffered a calf injury during preseason while Matic underwent surgery on an abdominal injury picked up during the World Cup.
