Jadon Sancho to miss rest of season after going to hospital with tonsillitis but Harry Maguire could return for Man Utd

JADON SANCHO is likely to miss the rest of the season after spending the night in hospital with tonsillitis.

But the good news for boss Ralf Rangnick is that Harry Maguire may return before the end of the campaign.

The Red Devils duo have both been absent with their respective ailments in recent weeks.

Sancho, 22, has been suffering with tonsillitis while Maguire, 29, has had a persistent knee issue.

Giving fans an update on their club captain, Rangnick told the BBC: "Harry Maguire might be available again.

"We have to wait and see if he can train the day after tomorrow [Wednesday]."

Maguire last featured in United's 4-0 drubbing at Anfield last month.

He was subsequently an unused substitute in the defeat at Arsenal, and has since been absent.

On Sancho, meanwhile, Rangnick added: "If [he is to return] then maybe in the last game.

"I was in contact with him this afternoon. He was in hospital until this morning so he only returned back home today.

"He still doesn't feel well so, for sure, not [vs Brighton]."

United had also been without Fred and Edinson Cavani in recent weeks, although both returned from the bench during the 3-0 win over Brentford.

Jesse Lingard was also among the substitutes, but wasn't brought on for an Old Trafford send off.

The attacking midfielder's brother Louie scathingly wrote on Instagram: "20 years of blood sweat and tears, four domestic trophies, three cup final goals, not even a farewell. No wonder it's Conference League next year.

"Attacking players for celebrations when the club's being sold to the super league OK.

"Class of 92, Busby Babes, you're ran by people who don't even know the offside trap. Classless and the fans need to realise. Goodnight, godbless!

"Been there since nine years of age and didn't even get a send off!!! Well done bro your family are proud."
