“[He’s out] for the same reason he missed the cup game,” Rangnick told Sky.

“Yesterday before training he still had problems with his hip flexor and we then decided not to train him.
“Then after training I had another conversation with him and we then decided that it doesn't make sense, if he is still having problems with his hip flexor, to take him on the journey here and then hopefully make sure he can play on Wednesday.”
