Marouane Fellaini is “working hard to get fit” after removing himself from contention for a Belgium call-up to focus on his game at Manchester United.
The versatile 31-year-old decided not to be involved with his country during the international break as Roberto Martinez’s side played out UEFA Nations League fixtures with Iceland and Switzerland.
Instead, Fellaini chose to take in training sessions with United ahead of their return to domestic action on Saturday against Crystal Palace.
He believes he has benefitted from the break, with full match sharpness still being sought after returning from injury for United in crunch clashes with Juventus and Manchester City at the start of November.
