Smalling hands Man Utd fresh injury scare

Chris Smalling has handed Manchester United a new injury scare.

The Daily Mail says Smalling is understood to have hurt his thigh in training ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with West Ham at Old Trafford.

United will assess his condition on Thursday with Louis van Gaal waiting anxiously to see if the England defender will be fit to play.

With Phil Jones sidelined due to a hamstring strain, Jonny Evans limped out of Sunday's shocking 5-3 defeat at Leicester City after hurting his ankle before Tyler Blackett was sent off.
