Chipolopolo captain, Enock Mwepu will miss Brighton and Hove Albion’s trip to Old Trafford due to injury.
Mwepu returned to training early this month and was expected to be back in action over the weekend when the Seagulls visited Vicarage Road to face Watford in an English Premier League encounter.
However, the Computer suffered a minor set back and hence missed the match and will miss today’s face off with Cristiano Ronaldo led misfiring Red Devils.
Albion manager Graham Potter has confirmed that Mwepu is out of tonight’s match but could be back for the Weekend’s game as they host Burnley.
“We will be as we were ahead of the Watford game. Enock Mwepu isn’t far away from being available. Jeremy Sarmiento’s rehab is going well so he’s getting closer,” Potter said.
Mwepu has been out since 8th January when he came off before the half hour mark at the Hawthorns following a hamstring problem.
Albion will look to extend their record unbeaten run to eight games in the Premier League when they take on Manchester United at Old Trafford. Kick off is 22:05 Central African Time.
