Erik ten Hag has rarely been without Bruno Fernandes this season but will be when Manchester United face Sevilla on Thursday evening.
United should have been heading to southern Spain with a healthy lead in their luggage, but a late capitulation and some torrid luck means they are instead flying light with none of Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane or Fernandes involved.
The latter is serving a one-game suspension after picking up Europa League booking number three for a bizarre handball decision.
Luckily for the Reds - and there has been little lucky for them fitness-wise in recent weeks - Christian Eriksen returned from his own issue earlier this month and the Dane is looking every bit as assured as he did prior to Andy Carroll's reckless challenge.
