YVES Bissouma has joined Bernardo on Albion's doubtful list for Saturday's visit to Manchester United.

The Mali midfielder was ruled out of the squad beaten 1-0 at home by Liverpool by a minor injury.

Manager Chris Hughton revealed to The Argus: "He had a slight problem with his hip. There is a chance he will be available, certainly nothing dramatic.

"It's just something he has felt in training a little bit, but he will be fine.

"If he misses next week then we are quite sure he will be ready the following week (home to West Brom in the FA Cup)."

Brazilian left-back Bernardo was already a doubt for the trip to Old Trafford with a hamstring injury sustained in the closing stages of the last away league game at West Ham.

Under-23s midfielder Max Sanders was on the bench against Liverpool, with Bissouma absent.

Sanders, from Horsham, was an unused substitute at Manchester United in the FA Cup last season and is back playing in the under-23s after injury.

The under-23s are away to Liverpool tonight (7pm).
