United host the Cherries at Old Trafford in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off, but their former Borussia Dortmund star will not play any part in the game.
Mourinho said that Mkhitaryah should be back to fitness soon after that, but hinted that he would not be risked for the midweek trip to Russia to face FC Rostov.
He told MUTV: “Mkhitaryan is still out. He didn’t recover in time for this game.
“I believe, during the next week, especially for the weekend [ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge], he will be fine and we don’t have major problems.”
United travel to Stamford Bridge to face Antonio Conte’s Blues on Monday week for an FA Cup sixth round tie.
