Darmian and Smalling out of Bournemouth clash

Louis van Gaal has confirmed defensive duo Chris Smalling and
Matteo Darmian will miss this weekend's visit to AFC
Bournemouth in the Premier League through injury.

Darmian limped out of Tuesday's 3-2 Champions League defeat
to Wolfsburg with a hamstring injury, while Smalling sustained a
groin problem in the same game.

Van Gaal confirmed to MUTV on Friday that both would miss
Saturday's trip to the Vitality Stadium, adding to a lengthy injury
list for the Dutchman.

Wayne Rooney (ankle), Marcos Rojo (shoulder) and Ander
Herrera (hamstring) are also among those missing, while
Bastian Schweinsteiger is suspended after his altercation with
Winston Reid in the 0-0 draw with West Ham last weekend.

Van Gaal stated that Morgan Schneiderlin (hip) was on his way
back, while Smalling, Darmian and Herrera are expected to
return before Christmas.
