Manchester United's Sancho Set to Miss Brighton Clash Due to Illness
Jadon Sancho's Absence a Blow to Red Devils' Top-Four Hopes
Manchester United have been dealt a blow ahead of their crucial Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion, as Jadon Sancho has been ruled out due to illness.
The England international has been in impressive form for United this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists in his last five appearances.
Sancho's Absence a Major Loss for United
Sancho's absence is a major loss for United, who are looking to close the gap on the top four.
The Red Devils are currently fifth in the table, two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
With just six games remaining in the season, United can ill afford to drop points against Brighton.
Brighton a Resurgent Force
Brighton, meanwhile, have been in resurgent form under Roberto De Zerbi.
The Seagulls have won four of their last five matches, including an impressive 4-1 victory over Chelsea last weekend.
Brighton will be confident they can cause United problems, even without Sancho in the side.
United's Attacking Options
In Sancho's absence, United are likely to turn to Antony or Alejandro Garnacho on the right wing.
Both players have been in good form this season, but neither has the same level of experience as Sancho.
It remains to be seen whether United can cope without Sancho, but Brighton will certainly be hoping to take advantage of his absence.
