Victor Lindelof is ruled out of Manchester United's Champions League clash at Atalanta... with centre-back picking up a knock in training ahead of crucial match

Manchester United have suffered another defensive injury this season after Victor Lindelof was ruled out of their crucial Champions League clash against Atalanta on Tuesday.

The club confirmed the Sweden international - who was part of the back three that started the 3-0 win at Tottenham on Saturday - has not travelled to Italy after picking up a knock in training on Monday.

It comes as a blow to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but has not resulted in the fully-fledged crisis United would have faced had he suffered the injury while Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane - his centre-back partners at the weekend - were still out.
