Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot has pulled out of Portugal's squad for the World Cup qualifiers with Armenia and Hungary.

Dalot is suffering from 'muscle discomfort' according to the Portuguese FA.

United head coach Ruben Amorim will be glad Dalot has been sent back to Manchester rather than being risked.

With Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount already doubts for the Manchester derby at Etihad Stadium on Sunday because of the injuries that forced them out of Saturday's 3-2 win over Burnley, Amorim can do without any other injury problems.
