Manchester United have been hit with a fresh injury concern as Patrick Dorgu has withdrawn from international duty with Denmark.
The 22-year-old suffered a hamstring injury during Denmark’s 2-0 win over Wales in September and was out until he made his return in United’s 4-4 draw with Aston Villa last Sunday.
Dorgu had been called up to Denmark’s squad for their Nations League fixtures against Portugal and Norway.
But the versatile left-sider will not feature in either game for Denmark and has returned to United due to his injury.
Speaking on Friday, Denmark’s team doctor, Morten Boesen, said: ‘We have carried out a series of tests on Dorgu, and he has not performed well enough to be ready to play in the two matches.
‘He needs further recovery time after his injury, so we are sending him home for additional rehabilitation.’

Pochettino will take charge of the United States’ games against Haiti on November 14 and 17 before travelling to Manchester ahead of United’s next Premier League game away to Liverpool on November 22.
