Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has spoken of his frustration after losing defender Phil Jones to injury during the international break.
Jones limped off with a thigh problem during England's goalless draw with Germany at Wembley last week.
Mourinho questioned Gareth Southgate's decision to play the 25-year-old, who was already carrying the injury.
Jones is a doubt for Newcastle's visit to Old Trafford on Saturday, and Mourinho is not confident he will be able to play.
The United manager told the Daily Mirror: "I don't think it is possible for a player with a problem to play in a friendly. Of course, Phil Jones had a problem.
"He was having a problem for three weeks, he's having problems that are stopping him to play for his club and then he plays for his club in extreme conditions because it's a big match against Chelsea.
"And then he goes to the national team and he comes home with an ongoing injury that everyone knows is an ongoing injury."
