Victor Lindelof to miss West Ham United clash for personal reasons

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof will miss Saturday's Premier League clash with West Ham United due to personal reasons.

Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has said that Victor Lindelof will miss Saturday's Premier League clash with West Ham United due to personal reasons.

The Sweden international's house was burgled on Wednesday, as the centre-back played against Brentford, with his wife and young children in the home when the incident occurred.

"During Victor's game this Wednesday night we had a break-in at our house in Manchester. I was home alone with both the kids but we managed to hide and lock ourselves in a room before they entered our house," Maja Nilsson-Lindelof wrote on social media.

"We are okay under the circumstances, but it was obviously a very traumatic and scary moment for both me and my little kids. We are now in Sweden and are spending some time off with our families."

Rangnick has revealed that the 27-year-old will not be considered for selection against West Ham, as he wants to remain close to his family following the incident.

"I spoke with him at length on our flight back home from London," Rangnick told reporters. "Also, this morning, we spoke for about 20, 25 minutes this morning. He told me what had actually happened and that this was a traumatic event especially for his wife and three-year-old son.

"He said to me that he right now needs to stay at home. He doesn't want to leave his wife and family on their own, which I can fully understand, being a father of two children myself. We agreed that he will not be training today and won't be available tomorrow for the game."

Lindelof is likely to be replaced by club captain Harry Maguire for the clash with the Hammers, with Raphael Varane retaining his spot in the middle of the defence.
