Mourinho confirms back injury for Fellaini

Jose Mourinho has confirmed Marouane Fellaini suffered a back injury during Manchester United's 1-0 victory at Hull City.

The midfielder, who was one of the nominees in @ManUtd's Man of the Match poll, produced another solid display in the middle of the park alongside Paul Pogba.

Mourinho told BT Sport afterwards that "Marouane is a special guy for us in our defensive work" and later revealed in his press conference that the Belgian midfielder had picked up a problem.

"He has an injury in his back. It's not good," the boss confirmed.

Fellaini has been named in Belgium's squad for the international break but is set to be assessed by medical staff before the matches against Spain and Cyprus.
