Manchester United manager David Moyes has confirmed Nemanja Vidic and Robin van Persie will miss the team’s Champions League encounter with Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday.
Neither flew into Germany with the rest of the Red Devils squad, even though Vidic did train ahead of departure this morning.
"They are both injured," said Moyes.
"Nemanja Vidic had concussion and Robin has a problem with his groin.
"Neither of them are long-term but they are not quite ready yet."
Happily for Moyes, defender Phil Jones did travel after recovering from a groin injury that kept him out of Sunday's draw with Cardiff.
However, with Michael Carrick ruled out by an Achilles injury and Marouane Fellaini also absent through suspension, Moyes does have a selection headache ahead of what he conceded is the toughest match of the group.
Bayer Leverkusen have only failed to win one match at the BayArena this season – a draw against Champions League and Bundesliga holders Bayern Munich.
