After Anthony Martial and Ander Herrera narrowly missed out on the World Cup call-ups, another Manchester United star is also set to miss the tournament after picking up a knee injury in training.

Shot-stopper Sergio Romero was ruled out on Tuesday, May 22 after picking up a nasty injury that will see him spend some time on the sidelines.

According to a tweet by the Argentine Football Association, Romero will be left out of the squad after picking up a ‘joint blockage in his right knee’.

Romero has 94 caps for Argentina and was a present figure during the teams tedious qualifying campaign, where a Lionel Messi hat-trick on the last day of qualifying kept them in the qualifying bracket.
