Manchester United have said Marcus Rashford will miss their FA Cup clash against Newport on Sunday due to illness.
Rashford missed training on Friday as a result of the sickness.
United initially defended video clips of the England forward entering a nightclub in Belfast, Northern Ireland, when they went viral on Friday.
The club claimed it was on Wednesday night, before a scheduled day off on Thursday.

However, the reports insist Rashford was also at a nightclub in the Northern Ireland capital on Thursday night.
A United statement has now said: “Marcus Rashford is not well enough to be in the squad for Newport following illness; he has stayed at Carrington to train as he recovers.”
Rashford has scored just four times in all competitions as he struggles for form.
