INJURY: Sabitzer to miss rest of season

Bad news for Manchester United. Marcel Sabitzer will miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury sustained in the Premier League match against West Ham.

"Manchester United midfielder Marcel Sabitzer has suffered a meniscal injury which will, unfortunately, rule him out for the remainder of the season," they wrote on their website.

The Austrian missed Saturday's 2-0 victory over Wolves and will not be available for the upcoming matches against Chelsea, Fulham and Manchester City.

Sabitzer, who joined on loan from Bayern Munich in January, has scored three crucial goals for Manchester United in 18 competitive matches - against Fulham in the FA Cup and a brace against Sevilla in the Europa League.

The 29-year-old has been a key player in the second half of the season. As a result, the board will try to sign him permanently in order to count on him for future sporting projects despite his injury.
