The list of Manchester United players who have withdrawn from their respective national squads through injury continues to grow.
Nemanja Matic and Romelu Lukaku join Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial as the latest casualties while there is some concern over Marcus Rashford.
Matic was been ruled out of Serbia’s matches against Germany and Poland.
The Manchester United midfielder had missed four games through injury and returned for their 2-0 defeat against Arsenal earlier this month.
He then played 86 minutes in the FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Wolves before being replaced by Juan Mata.
Matic was initially selected as Serbia’s vice-captain for a friendly in Germany on Wednesday and the Euro 2020 qualifier against Portugal on Monday.
He has now been withdrawn from the squad, though.
Serbia head coach Mladen Krstajic said: “Nemanja Matic will not play in Wolfsburg, nor in Lisbon. He played the last match in the club but did not stay in the field until the end.â€

Lukaku missed the FA Cup defeat to Wolves through injury after picking up a foot injury against Paris Saint-Germain.
He was set to be part of Roberto Martinez’s Belgium squad for their upcoming fixtures against Russia and Cyprus but has now been sent back to United to continue his rehabilitation.
Reports in Belgium suggest that this is a precaution and he could still be ready for the Red Devils’ next fixture.
Luke Shaw was forced to pull out of the England squad earlier this week through injury, and was replaced by Callum Hudson-Odoi, while Martial’s knee problem prevented any hopes of making the France squad.
