Manchester United could be without a whopping 10 players for their game against Brentford on Saturday.
Erik ten Hag’s men will miss Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro and Tyrell Malacia, who are battling long-term injuries and are yet to feature this season.
Noussair Mazraoui will also miss his first game since joining the club, after suffering minor heart functioning issues before the international break.
Mason Mount picked up a head injury earlier in the month and is still being assessed for the game.
Likewise, Manuel Ugarte’s fitness status is unknown after being brought off injured yesterday for Uruguay.
While Mazraoui, Amad Diallo, Alejandro Garnacho are back in training, they are all still doubts for Saturday.

Now, United have announced that Kobbie Mainoo will miss a number of weeks due to a hamstring injury.
Harry Maguire will also be unavailable after picking up a muscle injury against Aston Villa.
Mainoo’s injury was initially not a major concern, as he withdrew from England’s squad as a precaution.
However, it has now been revealed that he will miss multiple games.

Maguire is expected to be out until November, as he noted in an Instagram post after the 0-0 draw to Villa.
‘Frustrated to pick up an injury at the weekend, will be a few weeks on the sidelines for me but I’ll come back stronger,’ he said.
Kobbie Mainoo will likely miss at least six crucial games for United.
These games are: Brentford at home (19/10); Fenerbahce away (October 24); West Ham away (October 27); Leicester at home (October 30); Chelsea at home (November 3); and PAOK at home (November 7).
With Mainoo starting every Premier League game so far for United, this is untimely news for Ten Hag’s side, as they look to overturn a miserable start to the season.
