Phil Jones is in line for a Premier League return at Manchester United this weekend.
The Sun says Raphael Varane hobbled off during France's Nations League clash against Spain, meaning BOTH first choice centre-backs could now be out. Skipper Harry Maguire is also recovering from injury.
The 28-year-old seemingly overstretched while going for a loose ball - and had to be withdrawn before half-time.
Worryingly though for United the knock came with nobody near the defender.
And if it forces Varane to be sidelined for Saturday's trip to Leicester then Phil Jones could be set for a sensational Manchester United return.
Jones has not played for United since an FA Cup clash against Tranmere 19 MONTHS ago.
