Chris Smalling: Out with shoulder injury

Smalling will not play in Thursday's Europa League match against Midtjylland due to a shoulder injury, according to Paul Hirst of Times Sport.

Analysis:

United have been crushed by injuries to their back line this season, but Smalling had been incredibly healthy, missing just one match before Thursday's. Michael Carrick and Daley Blind, both natural midfielders, started as the two centerbacks Thursday, and it's unclear if Smalling will be able to return in time to face Arsenal on Sunday.
