Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho has revealed the reason Eric Bailly missed his side’s 4-1 win over Newcastle.
According to the Portuguese manager, the Ivorian misses the United Game due to an injury.
The 23-year-old defender had missed Cote d'Ivoire's failed 2018 Fifa World Cup qualification bid to Morocco last Saturday due to suspension.
"Defender Bailly was a notable absentee from the XI to face the Magpies at Old Trafford in the first game after the international break, with Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof named as the centre-back pairing,” the statement reads on the club website.
“Mourinho disclosed the reason for Bailly’s absence in his pre-match interview with BT Sport and also confirmed Henrikh Mkhitaryan, another name missing from the matchday squad, was not selected for tactical reasons.”
