Manchester United is set to face a setback as Mason Mount, the accomplished midfielder representing England, will be absent from the upcoming Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The club confirmed this news on Tuesday, attributing his absence to an injury that he sustained during their recent match against Tottenham Hotspur, which ended in a 2-0 defeat for United.

Having been a pivotal presence in both of United's league encounters this season, the 24-year-old Mount's absence is predicted to extend beyond the Nottingham Forest fixture, encompassing the span until the forthcoming international break scheduled for next month. United's official statement acknowledged, "The small complaint is expected to keep Mount out until the international break next month."

The international break in question is slated to occur from September 4th to 12th, providing Mount with an opportunity to recuperate and regain his fitness before potentially rejoining the team's activities.

United's forthcoming fixture against Arsenal, which is scheduled for September 3rd, will see them facing the challenge of last season's runners-up. However, given Mount's injury-induced absence, the team will have to strategize and adapt to his temporary unavailability as they approach this significant encounter.
