Manchester United will be without Anderson, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs for Wednesday's UEFA Champions League tie against Marseille
The trio were among several absentees from the squad for the first leg of the last 16 tie when United flew out to the South of France.
Anderson's fitness is a major concern for United after the Brazilian midfielder was replaced at half-time in Saturday's FA Cup win over Crawley Town.
Reports have claimed that Anderson could be sidelined for the next two months, although United have yet to comment on the extent of the knee injury.
Ferdinand is yet to recover from a calf injury, so Chris Smalling will partner Nemanja Vidic in central defence as Jonny Evans has also not travelled.
Club stalwart Giggs, who signed a new one-year contract last week, has also been left behind by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson
Striker Michael Owen is missing due to a groin injury, while midfield duo Antonio Valncia
and Park Ji-sung are also absent.
Howerer. Ferguson was able to include Brazilian Brothers Rafael and Fabio despite the pair both coming off with injuries against Crawley, while youngsters King and Tunnicliffe were also selected along with Oberton and Bebe.
