Manchester United's injury woes look to have taken a turn for the worst after Phil Jones hobbled off in pain against Germany at Wembley.
The grimacing England and United defender was unable to continue after pulling up with a pain in his thigh, and was soon taken off the field in the first half.
Jones, 25, tried to play on against Germany but eventually succumbed to injury with heavy strapping already on his leg on 25 minutes, adding further concern to the growing injury list of his Premier League club United.
Manager Jose Mourinho, who spent Friday night at Stockholm’s Friends Arena watching Sweden vs Italy with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has been counting the cost of his side's injuries in recent weeks.
With a Champions League tie with Basle on the horizon, the Portuguese boss may well be without another of his first team personnel.
Jones had begun the evening well at the national stadium, keeping at bay a vibrant and attacking Germany side.
The defender came to the fore most prominently in blocking a certain Germany goal off the line.
Jones stooped down to head away and deny his Manchester City rival Leroy Sane, whose effort from the middle of the area was destined for the far corner.
Jones starting the game with a heavily strapped leg, despite the fixture having little value to England, is likely to further irk Mourinho.
No official news has yet been given on the extent of the player'
