"Manchester United" will have to do without midfielder Paul Pogba in tomorrow's derby, confirmed team coach Jose Mourinho.
The most expensive purchase of all time was substituted at the end of the recent match with "Burnley," and after that game, the "Red Devils" manager said he is uncertain about the Frenchman's condition.
It has now become clear that he has suffered an injury and will not travel to Manchester City's stadium.
"Paul - no, Herrera - yes," Mourinho replied when asked if Paul Pogba and Ander Herrera will be ready for tomorrow's match.
The Portuguese also added that defender Antonio Valencia, who rested against "Burnley," will return to the team, but center-backs Chris Smalling and Phil Jones are still sidelined.
"We will go with what we have, we will fight with what we have. I trust the guys. We are fighters," continued Mourinho.
In addition to Marcos Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Manchester United will also be without Pogba. The specific injury that Pogba suffered was not disclosed by the team's manager.
