Lindelof heads up Man Utd absentees ahead of Young Boys clash

Victor Lindelof missed training on Monday as Manchester United prepare to face Young Boys in the Champions League.

The Sweden international played through the pain barrier on Saturday as United drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

Jose Mourinho subsequently lamented the fact that Lindelof had sustained an injury while playing for his country; the defender played 90 minutes against Russia after being withdrawn at half-time against Turkey due to illness.
