Manchester United will be hosting Arsenal on Sunday in what is a highly, highly anticipated titanic clash.
Erik ten Hag has been short of options all season as his squad has been hit by injury after injury, and the issues have intensified just while such an important game is round the corner.
Captain Bruno Fernandes was injured and missed Monday’s Crystal Palace game and his abscence was greatly felt as the team struggled to create anything of substance.
The good news is that he is back in training and in contention to make the squad.
The other injury updates since the Crystal Palace capitulation is midfielder Mason Mount has suffered yet another injury and will be out once again, continuing his extremely unlucky run with injuries in a United shirt.
On a more positive note, Marcus Rashford who has been out with an ankle issue since the FA Cup semi final win against Coventry City has made it back to team training and there is a good chance he will make the squad.
Scott McTominay also returned to training and is in contention for the squad as well.
The gaping hole in defense remains albeit Lisandro Martinez is back in training but as the manager confirmed, he is still not ready to take any part.
This means Casemiro will once again partner Jonny Evans at the heart of defense, a scary prospect against Arsenal considering what happened at Crystal Palace.
Luke Shaw, who was nearing a return to training has suffered a set back further extending his time on the sidelines.
Predicted Man Utd XI: Onana; Dalot, Casemiro, Evans, Wan-Bissaka; McTominay, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
