Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has provided a fitness update on defender Noussair Mazraoui.
Mazraoui has started the past two games for Man United in the right wing-back role, taking over from the injured Diogo Dalot.
Man United secured a 2-1 win over Chelsea last time out to ease the pressure on Amorim following a poor start to the season.
Amorim is already without midfielder Casemiro for the trip to Brentford due to the two yellow cards he picked up against Chelsea.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference before the clash with Brentford, Amorim provided the latest on Mazraoui after he missed training on Thursday.
Amorim told the press: “He is out also.
He will not be back until the international break.”
That means Mazraoui will also miss Man United’s home fixture against Sunderland.

With Dalot and Mazraoui both out, Amad Diallo is expected to take up the position at wing-back.
Diallo has not yet contributed a goal or assist this season as an attacking option down the right, and was utilised behind Benjamin Sesko in the win against Chelsea.
The 23-year-old has yet to nail down a position in Amorim’s side this season, and is at risk at stalling his progress.
Diallo had a successful loan spell at Sunderland before Amorim’s arrival, and contributed eight goals and six assists last season.
