Ange Postecoglou believes Heung-Min Son’s involvement is “unlikely,” but he expects Destiny Udogie to be available for our Premier League trip to Brighton on Sunday (4.30pm UK).
Full-back flying After experiencing tightness in his quadriceps during the first half of our 3-0 victory at Old Trafford on Sunday, Destiny was taken off the field at halftime. Ange believes he will be prepared for Sunday’s match at the Amex even though he did not travel to Hungary for our UEFA Europa League triumph against Ferencvaros on Thursday night.
Son pulled up with a hamstring injury against Qarabag on September 26, thus he was unable to travel throughout the week and missed the United match. During his pre-game press conference on Friday morning, Ange stated: “We’re all well after last night’s game. We’re clearly exhausted, but there aren’t any physical problems.
“Among the guys who remained behind, we believe Destiny will be alright. He needs to get over that because we workout today and tomorrow. Although Sonny is unlikely and is making a lot of effort, things could change too quickly for him to be accessible at this time.
Radu Dragusin is back in action following his suspension for the victory in Budapest on Thursday night. Wilson Odobert and Richardson are still sidelined.
