Freddie Sears could be out of this Saturday's trip to Sunderland after being mysteriously withdrawn from the England under 19 squad.

The 18-year-old striker, who had appeared in United's last two game against Blackburn and Everton appeared to be fine after leaving the pitch on Saturday afternoon.

But a brief note posted on the club's website this lunchtime confirmed that Sears would miss tonight's under 19s friendly against Russia having 'been ruled out through injury'. No further explanation has been offered as yet.

Hammers possibly in action tonight are James Tomkins, who made his first team debut at Everton on Saturday and Junior Stanislas who is a late selection having been called up this weekend.

The game, being played in Milton Keynes (MK Dons) kicks off at 7pm. Tickets are still available and can be purchased by calling the ticket hotline on 01908 622900.
