Manchester United right-back Ethan Laird's hopes of making his debut for loan club Bournemouth against Boreham Wood in the FA Cup on Sunday evening have been quashed by a fresh injury setback.
The 20-year-old, who is held in very high regard by those inside Old Trafford, joined Bournemouth on loan for the remainder of the season last month following a successful stint at Swansea during the first half of the campaign.
Laird racked up 21 appearances in all competitions for the Swans, claiming four assists, and United felt a temporary switch to promotion-chasing Bournemouth would enhance his development further and offer him the chance to add a promotion to his CV.
