Manchester United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat has pulled out of Atlas Lions of Morocco’s upcoming international games because of injury.
United confirmed Amrabat’s injury in a statement on Friday.
Amrabat, who joined United on loan from Fiorentina last week, will return to the club’s Carrington training base for rehabilitation work on an unspecified problem.
He was set to make his 50th appearance for Morocco, which plays Liberia in a 2023 African Cup of National qualifier on Saturday.

The World Cup semifinalists then play Burkina Faso in a friendly on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Morocco coach Walid Regragui called up Yahya Jabrane to replace Amrabat for the games.
United manager Erik ten Hag will hope his new signing will be ready for the team’s upcoming game against Brighton on Sept. 16.
It has not been the best of starts for United especially in terms of injury.
Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Raphael Varane are all injured while new signing Rasmus Hojlund missed the start of the campaign because of an existing tissue injury after his move from Atalanta.
United has also had to cope with comments made by Jadon Sancho, who said he had been made a “scapegoat for a long time” after he was dropped for the 3-1 loss to Arsenal on Sunday.
Manager Erik Ten Hag said Sancho’s performances in training were the reason why he was not selected.
