Premier League injury table

David de Gea was injured during the warm-up on ThursdayManchester United's injury crisis got even worse on Thursday night, when David de Gea limped out of the warm-up before their defeat at Midtjylland.
The Spain goalkeeper appeared to injure his knee while performing a routine stop as he prepared for the Europa League encounter and Sergio Romero had to take his place in the starting line-up.
After the game a 2-1 loss - United boss Louis van Gaal bemoaned his side's bad luck with injuries. "It's the law of Murphy," he said.
"When you have a list of injured players and a few minutes before the game we can add another player to the list then it is difficult to cope with such a list of injured players."
According to physioroom.com, United now have 13 players sidelined - including captain Wayne Rooney, midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger and long-term absentee Luke Shaw.
