Manchester United medical staff are expected to assess Phil Jones on Tuesday in order to discover the extent of the injury he suffered while on England duty.
The 22-year-old defender limped off in the 77th minute of England’s 2-0 European Qualifiers win over Switzerland on Monday with what appeared to be a hamstring problem.
The Football Association has provided no information regarding the injury.
Manchester United’s next game is against QPR at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Manager Louis van Gaal could hand debuts to a number of players as he goes in search of his first win as United boss.
Jones’ fellow England defender Luke Shaw is understood to be ready for selection following a hamstring injury.
Shaw was criticised by Van Gaal for lacking the required fitness in pre-season.
Another defender, Marcos Rojo, has received his international clearance and will be available for Sunday’s game.
Ander Herrera, who joined United in the summer from Athletic Bilbao, is fit after suffering an ankle injury in United’s opening-game defeat by Swansea.
Herrera wrote on Twitter on Monday: "Training hard and looking forward to this next game at Old Trafford!"
Two deadline day recruits, striker Radamel Falcao and the versatile Daley Blind, will also be available to Van Gaal, who is expected to give another transfer-window signing, Angel di Maria, his home debut.
United striker Robin van Persie has spoken of his eagerness to start working with United's new signings following the international break, during which he has been with the Netherlands national side.
Speaking in the Austrian Alps, where the Dutch team have been training, 31-year-old Van Persie said: "I can't wait to go and train and play with the world-class players we have signed - wow!
"That feeling, that we are going to perform well, has only got stronger after the buying of players over the last weeks. I find it very exciting, the arrival of all those new players.
"For me personally, it's brilliant to go and play with some of the best players in the world. It's great that I can go and train and play with them every day."
