Another Man Utd injury blow: Amad Diallo withdraws from Ivory Coast squad as mini crisis deepens

<p>The 22-year-old had been expected to play a crucial role in Ivory Coast's double-header against Sierra Leone, with the first match scheduled for Friday, October 11, and the return leg just a few days later on Tuesday in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. However, Amad is set to fly back to Carrington after he complained of illness in the national team camp.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Amad's withdrawal adds to United's growing list of players who have pulled out of international duty as the winger became the fourth United player to pull out. He joins Noussair Mazraoui, Alejandro Garnacho, and Kobbie Mainoo, who have all dealt with various fitness concerns. Garnacho and Mainoo have been nursing long-standing injuries, while summer signing Mazraoui had to exit United's goalless draw against Aston Villa at half-time last weekend. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/more-misery-man-utd-harry-maguire-confirms-huge-injury-blow-limping-out-aston-villa-draw/blt19c14237fd0983b7" target="_blank">Harry Maguire is also facing time on the sidelines</a> after picking up an injury during the same match against Villa.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Amad made notable contributions in recent victories against Zambia and Chad during the September international window and his absence will be a difficult void to fill for manager, Emerse Fae. However, they lead Group F of the qualifiers with six points from the two matches.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>In six Premier League appearances, Amad has contributed with a goal and an assist, providing United with some much-needed creativity. With a Premier League clash against Brentford on the horizon it remains to be seen if Amad can work his way back to fitness before October 19. </p>

WHAT NEXT FOR AMAD?
