United confirmed the travelling squad on their website and said of Sancho’s absence: “Jadon Sancho is continuing his individual training programme as part of a process to get back to his highest level. The club is fully supporting him in this.”

Sancho, who was left out of England‘s World Cup squad by manager Gareth Southgate, has not played for United since the 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Oct. 22 and was not named in the squad for United’s final four games before the break because of illness.

Meanwhile, United have included senior players David De Gea, Victor Lindelof, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Donny van de Beek, Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial in the squad for the trip to Spain.

Christian Eriksen and Facundo Pellistri, who both exited the World Cup after the group stages with Denmark and Uruguay respectively, have been given time off following international duty in Qatar.

United restart their domestic campaign with a Carabao Cup tie against Burnley at Old Trafford on Dec. 21, just three days after the World Cup final. They make their return to Premier League action against Nottingham Forest on Dec. 27.
