Romelu Lukaku is missing from Manchester United's squad for its Premier League match away to Bournemouth. Lukaku, who has not scored for Jose Mourinho's side since the middle of September, was named on the bench for United's last game, a win against the striker's former club Everton.
But, Lukaku has not made the 18 to face the in-form Cherries on Saturday, with Mourinho saying the forward "felt something [in training] that needs to be studied in the next couple of days".
Alexis Sanchez replaces Marcus Rashford in attack alongside Anthony Martial, who has scored four goals in three Premier League games to earn a place on October's Player of the Month shortlist.
