Manchester United's English midfielder Mason Mount will miss Saturday's Premier League game against Nottingham Forest due to injury and is anticipated to be sidelined until next month's international break, the club announced on Tuesday.

Manchester United's English midfielder Mason Mount will miss Saturday's Premier League game against Nottingham Forest due to injury and is anticipated to be sidelined until next month's international break, the club announced on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old, who has started both of United's league games this season, was injured in last weekend's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur. The update could cause problems for Erik ten Hag's side, as his choices in midfield are now limited. Midfielder Fred has already left for Fenerbahce this summer, and youth standout Kobbie Mainoo is now out with an injury incurred during the club's pre-season tour of the United States.

"Mason Mount is set to miss Saturday's game against Nottingham Forest due to an injury picked up in last weekend's encounter with Tottenham Hotspur. The small complaint is expected to keep Mount out until the international break next month. The England midfielder has started both of our Premier League games so far this season after making his competitive debut for the club in last week's 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford," Manchester United's statement read.

Mount, 24, is also a doubt for England's Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine on September 9. Ten Hag started Mount in United's first two Premier League games, but he has struggled to make an impression.
