Man Utd midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan cleared of serious injury

Manchester United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has avoided serious injury while in action for Armenia.

He was subbed off after 38 minutes of the friendly clash against the Czech Republic following a collision with Marek Sukhy.

Reports suggested Mkhitaryan was a doubt for the Manchester derby on September 10.

But, according to Armenian news source NEWS.am, Mkhitaryan was merely withdrawn as a precaution.

And Armenia bosses are confident he will be fully fit to play in Sunday's World Cup 2018 qualifier against Denmark on Sunday.
