I'm hoping it's just giving him a break. As people have said, he missed most of last season too. No point rushing him, or playing him every game.

That would be really surprising if he was indeed injured again.
Why the feck would he need a break after a game and a bit in the last 2 weeks?
i don't get why he's not playing, he's been good so far.
Was he dropped or injured? Cleverley looks a pale shadow of himself without Ando around.
Surprised he wasn't on the bench at least, surely he's no injured already.
Where the feck is Anderson?
Looks like Nick Powell is about to end Andersons career here very quickly
Way too early to tell. What if he turns out to be another Gibson?
On his Instagram when someone asked why he wasn't in the squad:
I don't know whether next game refers to midweek but I assume it does.
Damn Pogba causing poblems from afar
Way too early mate.
Remember how Anderson looked in his first season, keeping Gerrard and Fabregas in his pocket all game.
Cheers Dambot.
Come on buddy, don't faint after 60 minutes, I have the faith!
Done well so far, seems to have a lot more urgency to his game tonight which is what I wanna see. He capable but it's just when he's arsed. Nice goal too.
I've been telling everyone who'll listen that our midfield is crying out for Anderson, that's why. Ignore the goal, just the performance, that is what persuaded Boss to make that attack the space thread.
No zombie passing with Ando around that's for sure, he'll break your fecking ankles with a pass if you aint ready for it.

I love the chunky wee fecker.
But he has been injured
I agree though I want to see him being given many chances
Been out for a while
He probably will.
I'm telling you when you pair Ando with other mobile midfielders he looks good. I remember in 2010/11 when we had that dire home fixture against Arsenal and he played with Fletcher and Park and he was just as effective.
When we play at pace it brings the best out of Ando. Its when we do the zombie passing thing that Anderson comes unstuck. As long as we keep going Ando will keep producing.
When he's on form, our team looks absolutely brilliant to watch.
Anderson and Cleverley understand each other. They play fast and they move constantly, trying to play through the midfield that way. You can imagine why they aren't ideal to be paired with Carrick.
What does that have to do with my post Randall?
Noticed how he brushed off Tiote in one of the challenges, or was I imagining?
Well, at least he didn't faint
As pretty much everyone noticed. The guy is fecked. He needs full match fitness, badly. And then he will be a real plus for us
Cleverley looked cream crackered at the end too.
His first full 90 in a while, of course he's fecked. He's played well though.
He's fecked. Played well, but he's out on his feet.
Ah no, to be fair, he had a brilliant first half, and he has played feck all lately, so it's excusable. I hope now he can FINALLY kick off, get himself fit and playing, because we've seen how good he could be.
Him and Cleverley should be starting every match.
Played really well. Great goal, and a really good game. Hope he gets some more games soon and continues this form. Match fitness will come with games.
This.
A fully fit Anderson will start majority of games this season. No question about it
Very good today. Loved watching him run with the ball.
Please stay fit
Please stay fit
Never underestimate Fergie's man love for Giggs and Scholes.
he should be given a run in the team, he has played well in every game he's been involved in this season.
Visibly knackered at the end but I thought he lasted the course quite well. A good attempted through ball with about 10 minutes left, a nice link up with Powell a few minutes later, and still getting involved right up to the final whistle.
Absolutely. I just hope he can string a good, consistent run of form and fitness together this time. Kagawa for one would surely benefit from playing with him - Anderson won't hesitate at blasting the ball at him in tight situations!
