Erik ten Hag will give an update on Kobbie Mainoo in Friday’s press conference, but the Manchester United midfielder is expected to be sidelined for a number of weeks.
The 19-year-old withdrew from England duty this international break through injury and club media have indicated that his muscle problem could rule him out for a number of games.
The same applies to Harry Maguire, who sustained his muscle issue against Aston Villa. Manuel Ugarte is another concern after he was taken off in Uruguay’s goalless draw with Ecuador on Wednesday after appearing to sustain a knock.
Mason Mount is meanwhile still recovering from setbacks picked up against Tottenham last month.
