Maitland-Niles is out for two weeks due toa groin injury, according to manager Paulo Fonseca. "Ainsley has joined the injured list for perhaps two weeks with an adductor injury."
ANALYSIS
Maitland-Niles is going to hit the sidelines after he was injured in the second half of Thursday's Coupe de France outing. Unfortunately, he is likely out until the international break, a brutal turn as they lose their starting right-back. That said, Hans Hateboer is a potential replacement, with Ruben Kluivert another option once recovering from his undisclosed injury.
