The 33-year-old, who has made 235 Premier League appearances for the club since his move from Wigan nine years ago, sustained a calf injury during pre-season and his return date has not been specified by Mourinho.
Paul Pogba wore the armband
during last Friday’s 2-1 win over Leicester City and Mourinho confirmed the
World Cup winner will continue to do so until Valencia is ready to make his
first team return. Antonio Valencia sustained a calf injury in pre-season

I think it was before the game against Basel, Pogba is a young guy, with a good
personality,
made in the academy,
normally a starting line-up player, so he has the conditions to be a captain in
the future.
‘In the continuity of this,
with no Antonio (Valencia) in the team, he was the captain and for the next
match I don’t think Antonio’s going to play, so he’ll be the captain again.
‘But one day when Antonio comes back, Antonio will be the captain again.’
