Ashley Young ruled out of Man United CSKA Moscow Champions League tie

Ashley Young will miss Manchester United's Champions League match at CSKA Moscow.

Young, 30, was absent from the 3-0 win over Everton on Saturday because of a calf injury, and the winger did not take part in United's final training session ahead of Wednesday's match.

Paddy McNair, who suffered liver damage playing for Northern Ireland last week, missed the session at the AON Training Complex in Carrington on Tuesday morning.

Youngsters Sean Goss, who went on the summer tour of the United States, and defender Regan Poole were also involved.

James Wilson trained, but is set to be left out of the squad for the game along with Young, McNair and long-term injury victim Luke Shaw.

"It's the same amount of injuries so Luke Shaw, Paddy McNair and Ashley Young are not going with us," United manager Van Gaal told MUTV.

"Willo was a little bit ill -- Wilson as he is named but, for us, it is Willo -- so he shall not travel with us. I'll take 20 players with me. It's a four-hour flight so, if a player gets ill, I have the other player in my environment."

Antonio Valencia and Sergio Romero missed the win at Goodison Park because they had long-haul flights after the international break, but both look likely to travel to Russia.

"Of course that was the reason [Romero and Valencia were absent at Everton]," the Dutchman added. "They have to cope with the jet-lag so I didn't think it was wise to take them with us against Everton."

United fly to the Russian capital on Tuesday afternoon before taking on CSKA the following day.

Man Utd Team News: Ashley Young misses Man City derby, Ander Herrera given all clear

MANCHESTER UNITED have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the Manchester derby on Sunday.

Ashley Young picked up a slight injury during the 3-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. 

He was forced him to miss the following matches at Everton and CSKA Moscow, and despite Louis van Gaal revealing the winger is no longer injured, he won’t feature against Man City as he is not match fit.

Ander Herrera looks set to feature even though he received a heavy blow to the ribs during the closing stages of the Champions League draw in Moscow. 

Ashley Young has recovered from his injury but won't feature against Man City as he isn't match fit

Ander Herrera will feature after recovering from the knock he received at CSKA Moscow

The Spaniard scored during the 3-0 win at Goodison Park last weekend and retained his starting place for the trip to Russia.

Luke Shaw, who has been out of action since breaking his leg at PSV Eindhoven in September, and Paddy McNair, who suffered a serious-looking injury while playing in Northern Ireland, remain the only players on the injury list.

Van Gaal told MUTV: "It's pretty good, because only Luke Shaw and Paddy McNair are long-term injuries.

"Ashley Young has had three weeks out of training sessions so cannot play against City.

"It’s always better that a manager can select from a lot of players.

"There have been times when I could not select from many, like last year, but this year is going much better."
