Man United injury, suspension news vs. Viktoria Plzen: Will Victor Lindelof return?

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's injury and suspension news ahead of their Europa League fixture against Viktoria Plzen.

Manchester United are back in action on Thursday evening when they square off against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League.

The size of the task in hand has become apparent to Ruben Amorim over the past week with United suffering back-to-back defeats to Arsenal and Nottingham Forest respectively.

At a time when the Red Devils have dropped back down to 13th position in the Premier League table, they are a respectable 12th place in the Europa League standings courtesy of collecting nine points from their opening five fixtures.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to the Czech Republic.
