Fellaini is believed to be hurt from the tackle which Southampton striker Shane Long challenged on him in last week's match and some of the Manchester United officials have already let hinted that they were not impressed with Long's challenge who escaped serious punishment after receiving only yellow for that challenge.

Fellaini will undergo further medical tests this week to determine the extent of the damage, amid fears he could be sidelined for several games.

In their absence, academy youngster Scott McTominay and Axel Tuanzebe are been included in the squad who travelled to Russia.

Goalkeeper: David de Gea, Sergio Romero, Joel Pereira
