Manchester United forward Amad Diallo is expected to remain sidelined until after the international break ending on 6 October, according to reporting cited by Yahoo Sports.

The report, attributed to MailSport, says Diallo has not resumed on-pitch training at Carrington. The precise nature and severity of his injury have not been disclosed.

Diallo is expected to miss United’s matches against Sabah, Manchester City and Brighton and Hove Albion. A return to the squad for the trip to Fulham on 20 September remains possible, but is considered unlikely.
