Manager Ruben Amorim has announced that Kobbie Mainoo will miss the upcoming match due to a calf injury.

Mainoo was expected to feature against Aston Villa following Casemiro's suspension, but he picked up an injury during Saturday's training session.

Manager Ruben Amorim said: 'Mainoo got injured in the last training session. He saw the doctor after training, and it was diagnosed as a calf problem. We’ll look into the status further, but he’s out for this match. It’s obviously bad timing for both the team and Mainoo himself. It’s a reminder that we have to focus on what we can control and leave the rest to fate. I hope he’ll be okay in a few weeks, but I don’t know for sure. For now, we have to focus on the players who are available to play.'
