Manchester United stars Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo and Noussair Mazraoui have already withdrawn from their respective squads for the upcoming international games.
Amad Diallo has joined the United trio in skipping October’s international fixtures. Man United have confirmed that Diallo is ruled out due to illness.
Ivory Coast are scheduled to face Sierra Leone in a home and away double-header, but Diallo won’t be part of the squad.
While Diallo has been a regular in United’s starting XI this season, he has struggled to deliver consistent performances.
He has bagged just one goal and one assist in ten games across all competitions.
His inability to capitalise on opportunities has led to frustration for manager Erik ten Hag, who has placed his faith in young talents.
The United manager will be hoping that Diallo can regain fitness for the game against Brentford in the Premier League on October 19.
Garnacho is recovering from a knee injury. If he is not fit for the Brentford clash, Diallo would likely occupy the right-wing spot.
Many United supporters wanted Ten Hag to give Diallo a fair opportunity to prove his worth this season.
The youngster won the hearts of United fans after his injury-time goal against Liverpool in the FA Cup last term.
He shone in his loan spell with Sunderland, bagging 14 goals and four assists.
His contributions were pivotal in propelling the Black Cats to the Championship play-off semi-final.
United fans will hope that Diallo can improve his form and become a more dynamic force in the final third.
