Sofyan Amrabat was forced to withdraw from the Morocco squad<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>The Moroccan midfielder was forced to withdraw from international duty last month and The Athletic reported United had detected a back problem during his medical.<\/p>\n<p>Amrabat joined United on an initial season-long loan on deadline day from Fiorentina, with\u00a0the Red Devils paying the Italian side an \u00a38million loan fee with the the option to make the deal permanent next summer for \u00a321m.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old has made five appearances for United this season, mostly filling in at left-back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amrabat&#8217;s latest fitness issue deepens Erik ten Hag&#8217;s mounting injury crisis ahead United&#8217;s return to Premier League action away at Sheffield United on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag is without long-term absentees Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Amad Diallo, Lisandro Martinez and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.<\/p>\n<p>Raphael Varane has sat out three games with a fitness issue, while new signings Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount have both missed matches because of injuries but have since recovered.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag should at least be able to count on Casemiro for the trip to Bramall Lane on Saturday, after the Brazilian played in the defeat to Uruguay on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The midfielder returned to training earlier this week after he asked to be replaced during Brazil&#8217;s 1-1 draw against Venezuela on Saturday as he picked up an ankle knock.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

Trafford as United look to get their season back on track after a disappointing start\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, <span>Mail Sport<\/span> reported United had launched an investigation into why their first-team squad has suffered so many injuries.<\/p>\n<p>With the Premier League season just eight matches in, no fewer than 16 players have been injured or unavailable to manager Erik ten Hag so far.<\/p>\n<p>That situation has ensured that the Dutchman has been unable to pick his first choice XI once this season.<\/p>\n<p><span>Mail Sport<\/span>\u00a0revealed officials from

which has seen them win four and lose four of their first eight Premier League matches.<\/p>\n<p>United have also lost both of their Champions League games against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, conceding seven goals in the process, and sit rock bottom of Group A.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag&#8217;s men did, however, progress to the next stage of the Carabao Cup after beating Crystal Palace and will
