The Guardian have reported that United had a planned statement on the clubs’ official website due to go live on Monday night but it has been postponed due to fears the injury is worse than initially thought.
On his Facebook page, the Spanish midfielder posted “Three very important points! I hope my back is fine soon. Thanks for your messages!” on Saturday night.
Manchester United are now sweating over his condition ahead of Sunday’s clash against Everton at Old Trafford.
