The 24-year-old has injured the little finger on his right hand, according to an announcement from the Spanish Football Association.

De Gea, who started his country's last international against Luxembourg ahead of long-time first-choice Iker Casillas, will remain with the Spanish squad for the time being but is out of Saturday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Belarus.

He has started all 11 of United's Premier League matches this season, keeping three clean sheets.

Spain, the reigning European champions, are already without midfielder Cesc Fabregas because of a hamstring injury.
