Will the Red Devils have to do without Toby Alderweireld in the World Cup qualifiers next week? The 32-defender had to be sidelined after 6 minutes in the league match with his club Al-Duhail tonight.
Toby Alderweireld and Al-Duhail are in 2nd place in the Qatari competition. Tonight the top match against leader Al-Sadd was on the program.
After 6 minutes, Alderweireld’s game was over. It is still unclear with which injury the Red Devil had to be sidelined so quickly. The game ended 3-3.
Al-Sadd is the squad of coach Xavi, who told Spanish media it would be a matter of hours or days before a decision is made on his return to Barcelona.
Alderweireld’s failure may mean bad news for national coach Roberto Martinez. The Spaniard will announce his selection on Friday for the World Cup qualifiers against Estonia (November 13) and Wales (November 16).
