Daley Blind injury BLOW! Dutch star could face battle to feature in Arsenal clash

MANCHESTER UNITED have suffered yet another injury blow ahead of Saturday's clash with Arsenal.

Their versatile star suffered what appears to be a knee injury during the Netherlands' Euro 2016 qualifier with minnows Latvia.
Blind collided with an opposition player during a full blooded challenge and had to be withdrawn before the 20-minute mark.
Louis van Gaal will be distraught with the sight of his midfield lynch-pin added to his already sizeable list of injuries, and could herald the return of fellow summer signing Ander Herrera.
Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones, Rafael, Michael Carrick and Jonny Evans are just a few of the injured Old Trafford stars.
The injury could also mean Van Gaal can't continue with his makeshift centre-half pairing of Blind and Paddy McNair that earned a clean-sheet against Crystal Palace.
McNair and Tyler Blackett have just ten Premier League appearances between them, but could face the might of Alexis Sanchez and his Arsenal team-mates should Blind be sidelined.
Blind isn't the only fresh injury worry for United's boss. He must also consider David De Gea's dislocated finger, and the possibility of recalling Anders Lindegaard after six-months without a competitive appearance.
