Won't be option Wednesday
Mainoo (undisclosed) won't be available for Wednesday's UCL match against Como, manager Michael Carrick told media during Tuesday's pre-match press conference. "Kobbie, maybe 10 days or so but that's not exact."
Analysis: Mainoo is one of several players who won't be suiting up for Manchester United due to injury Wednesday. The young midfielder's absence will thin the team's midfield depth, leaving Carlos Baleba, Andrey Santos, and Youri Tielemans as the only available options in the middle of the park. The 10-day timeline suggests Mainoo could also miss the matches against Bournemouth (Oct. 25) and maybe Chelsea (Oct. 31), depending on his recovery.
Unlikely to face Como
Mainoo (undisclosed) was not spotted in Manchester United's team training session Tuesday as he continues recovering from an unspecified injury, making him unlikely to feature in Wednesday's Champions League clash against Como, according to Steven Railston of Manchester News.
Analysis: Mainoo remains sidelined after sustaining an undisclosed injury during the 1-1 draw against Tottenham, despite completing the full 90 minutes of that encounter. The midfielder subsequently missed Manchester United's Champions League defeat against Atletico Madrid and Sunday's Premier League clash against Leeds United, with his continued absence from training Tuesday suggesting he is not yet ready to return. His availability for Wednesday's European fixture against Como now appears highly doubtful, although the club has yet to officially rule him out. Mainoo's absence continues to limit coach Michael Carrick's midfield options, particularly with Manuel Ugarte (knee) also unavailable. Carlos Baleba and Andrey Santos have recently been preferred in central midfield and could retain their starting roles while Mainoo works toward regaining full fitness.
