The Armenia captain, who missed United's 1-1 Premier League
draw with Stoke City on Sunday, is unlikely to feature in the
matches against Romania on Saturday and Poland next week because
of the injury, the FFA said on Monday.
"Henrikh is still undergoing late stage rehabilitation from the
left thigh muscle injury that he sustained earlier this month
whilst playing for Manchester United," Steve McNally, United's
head of medicine, said in a statement to the FFA (www.ffa.am).
"In view of that I would be grateful if he could be allowed to
withdraw from the National Team for the forthcoming training
camp and FIFA World Cup Qualifying matches in order to remain in
Manchester to complete his rehabilitation."
Armenia are at the bottom of their World Cup qualifying group
after losing to Denmark last month. (Reporting by Shravanth
