Newcastle United loanee Martin Dubravka will be ineligible to feature for Manchester United when his parent club travel to Old Trafford on Sunday.
Dubravka joined Man United on a season-long loan from Newcastle on transfer deadline day, after being dislodged as number one following the arrival of Nick Pope from Burnley.
The Slovakian international is still awaiting his Red Devils debut and has been named on the bench just four times in all competitions by Erik ten Hag.
A muscle injury, which he sustained on international duty, kept him out of Man United's 6-3 defeat against Man City in the Manchester derby. However, he was restored to the bench for their 3-2 victory over Omonia Nicosia on October 6.

The 33-year-old was left out of the squad entirely in Sunday's 2-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park, with former Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton getting the nod instead as David de Gea's understudy.
Dubravka initially joined Newcastle on loan from Sparta Prague in January 2018 before signing on a permanent deal that summer. He amassed 130 appearances for the Magpies in all competitions across four-and-a-half seasons at St James' Park.
