Andre Onana has been dropped from the Manchester United squad travelling to face Newcastle on Sunday, talkSPORT understands.
The £47million man has been left out of Ruben Amorim's squad after he was culpable for both goals against Lyon in Thursday’s 2-2 draw in the Europa League.
Since the start of last season, the former Ajax and Inter Milan No.1 has made eight errors that have directly led to goals.
No other Premier League goalkeeper has made more in that time.
Altay Bayindir is expected to start in Onana's place and make his Premier League debut.

That is the end of the game, and it's more dropped points for Arsenal.
Of course, the Premier League title race is all but over, and the Gunners' attention is firmly fixed on Wednesday night in the Champions League, but it was still pretty disappointing from the hosts.
They rarely threatened Mark Flekken's goal and conceded a relatively sloppy goal near the end of the game.
Again, none of this will really matter if Arsenal finish the job against Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, Thomas Frank will be delighted his team came from a goal down to take a point.
Liverpool now need three more wins to confirm themselves as champions.

Concern hero for Jorginho who has gone down with no one around him.
The Italian international needs some medical treatment as we enter the last five minutes of this one.
It's unclear what the problem is with Jorginho, but he is having to be carried off the pitch.
He's gone straight down the tunnel, and the hosts will have to play the remainder of the match with ten men.

OPENER!
David Raya claims the corner and rolls a pass out to Declan Rice.
Rice skips past one in midfield, and suddenly, it is three-on-three.
The England international carries the ball to the edge of the box and plays a pass to Thomas Partey.
Partey takes a touch and lashes his shot into the back of the net.
And Mikel Arteta responds by bringing Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Myles Lewis-Skelly on.

Good defending by Arsenal stops Bryan Mbeumo.
The Gunners loses a 50/50 in the Brentford half, and the ball drops to Yoane Wissa.
He plays it to Mbeumo, who runs at Kieran Tierney.
Mbeumo can't back onto his left foot, and Tierney does well to sniff out the danger, and from the corner, the Gunners are on the break...

Back underway for the second half here at the Emirates.
No changes for either team.
It will be interesting to see just how long it takes for Mikel Arteta to turn to his bench if the score remains the same.
Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka are substitutes.

After the high of Tuesday night, there was always the danger of this one being a bit flat, and that is how things are transpiring.
Arsenal have had the better of the chances, but Mark Flekken has only had to make a couple of routine saves.
Down the other end, David Raya had to be at his best to stop Kristoffer Ajer.
Kieran Tierney did find the back of the net, but he was offside, so it is goalless at half time.

Patient play from Arsenal sees William Saliba find Leandro Trossard in a pocket of space in front of the Brentford defence.
The Belgian chops past one man and then another to get the ball onto his right foot.
He is urged to shoot and goes for goal from range.
It's a decent effort that Mark Flekken keeps his eyes on as he pushes it away for a corner that comes to nothing.

First yellow card of the game goes to Christian Norgaard for chopping down Gabriel Martinelli.
It was a genuine attempt to get the ball from the midfielder, but the tackle was late.
The referee and VAR decide it is only worthy of a booking.
But Mikel Arteta is furious and thinks Norgaard should be sent off.

Kieran Tierney has the ball in the back of the net, but he's offside.
Ethan Nwaneri drifts in from the right and delivers a cross into the box.
Tierney comes back from an offside position to glance a superb header into the net.
He doesn't really celebrate because he probably knows he's off.
Semi-automated offside quickly decides it's offside.

Just over ten minutes in here, and neither side have had a clear-cut chance.
It's not been played at a slow pace by any means, with both teams pressing and trying to move the ball quickly, it just hasn't turned into anything yet.
The hosts have come closest through Gabriel Martinelli, who managed to get to the byline only to see Mark Flekken smother the cross.
Thomas Partey has also headed an effort across goal that no one could finish.

Right, we have the starting XIs in from the Emirates, and unsurprisingly, Mikel Arteta has made the changes.
Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard are on the bench ahead of the second leg against Real Madrid in midweek.
Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney get rare starts as well.

Well, those games got noticeably better in the second half.
It was a brutal afternoon for Nottingham Forest as they were beaten at the City Ground for the first time since October.
That has blown the race for Champions League football wide open.
Marco Asensio saw two penalties saved by Aaron Ramsdale, but Aston Villa still won 3-0 to bounce back from their crushing defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
And on the south coast, Leicester scored for the first time in nine games and didn't lose, claiming a 2-2 draw against Brighton.
And this is how the Premier League table looks.

HAMMER BLOW!
Everton look to have snatched all three points at the City Ground and seriously dented Nottingham Forest's Champions League hopes.
From a Forest corner, Murillo takes a poor touch.
Dwight McNeil nicks it and spots the run of Abdoulaye Doucoure, and the Frenchman brilliantly finds the roof of the net with a first-time shot.
Its right in front of the away end, and there some scenes of chaos.

YOU WAIT FOR ONE, AND TWO COME AT ONCE!
Leicester have scored twice in a Premier League game, do not adjust your screen, this has actually happened.
It could also end the ridiculous losing run and deal Brighton a huge blow in their pursuit of European football.
It comes from Bilal El Khannous, as he whips a cross into the box.
No one is marking Caleb Okoli, and he heads home his first Leicester goal.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has revealed that Jean-Philippe Mateta was withdrawn due to his performance and not an injury.
During the Eagles' 5-2 defeat to Manchester City, the striker came off at half time with what most people assumed was an issue.
However, Glasner has revealed that wasn't the case.
But he did admit that one tactical tweak he made during the match didn't work.
Speaking at his post-match press conference, Glasner said: "Yes, it was a tactical decision.
"Now, I have to say it was the wrong decision.
