Man Utd keeper Dubravka leaves Slovakia squad after injury setback

Manchester United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka will return from international duty earlier than expected, after picking up an injury in training with Slovakia.

The 33-year-old was due to be involved in his country's two home Nations League games, against Azerbaijan this evening (Thursday) and Belarus on Sunday.

As a precautionary measure, Dubravka has withdrawn from the squad and will have his problem assessed at Carrington.

The Slovakian shot-stopper joined from Newcastle United on transfer deadline day earlier this month, signing a temporary contract that will keep him at United for the rest of this 2022/23 season.

Dubravka is yet to make his debut for the Reds but has been named in several matchday squads as cover for David De Gea, however he missed the Europa League win against Sheriff Tiraspol.
