Manchester United will be hoping to end their pre-season with a win against Fiorentina at Old Trafford today.
The Reds have enjoyed a productive pre-season campaign, winning two and drawing two of their opening four matches.
Their pre-season tour of the United States increased the levels of positivity within the camp, aided by winning the Premier League Summer Series. United recorded victories over West Ham United (2-1) and Bournemouth (4-1), before drawing with Everton (2-2).
With their season opener against Arsenal at Old Trafford now a little over a week away, here is the very latest on the injury front ahead of the clash with Fiorentina:
Andre Onana
Injury: hamstring
Onana has not featured for United so far this summer after suffering a hamstring injury in the first week of pre-season training at Carrington.
Despite not being deemed fit enough to be involved during the tour, he did travel to the US almost a fortnight ago to continue his rehabilitation. He trained during his time in the States, and sources said he had been "throwing himself around" in training but in non-contact drills.
Despite participating in team training this week, it is understood the visit of Fiorentina will come too soon for him to be involved. He is targeting a return against Arsenal.
Possible return date: August 17 (Arsenal H).
Noussair Mazraoui
Injury: knock
The Moroccan played no part in United's tour of the US due to a knock. He started the pre-season opener against Leeds in Stockholm last month and was taken off at half-time.

Noussair Mazraoui has played just once this pre-season.
Mazraoui was last pictured in a training session a fortnight ago. It remains to be seen when he will next be available for selection.
Possible return date: unknown.
Lisandro Martinez
Injury: anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
Martinez has been absent since suffering an ACL injury in United's 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford in February. He underwent successful surgery and has been on the comeback trail ever since.
He went to the US with the rest of the squad and participated in gym sessions. He was also photographed out on the grass before the tour came to an end.
United have not put a specific timeframe on how much longer he could be unavailable for, but his recovery is continuing to head in the right direction.
Possible return date: unknown.
Joshua Zirkzee
Injury: unspecified
Joshua Zirkzee trains in the United States.
Joshua Zirkzee has not played since the Europa League final.
Zirkzee has not featured for United this pre-season because of an unspecified injury complaint he sustained prior to the tour. He did travel to the US but was unable to participate in team training.
The attacker, who rushed his way back from a hamstring injury last season to make himself available for the Europa League final, was pictured training with the rest of the squad at Carrington earlier this week, offering encouragement that he is closing in on a return.
However, he played down the possibility of him being available for the clash with Fiorentina, admitting recently he wanted to be ready in time for the start of the season.
Possible return date: August 17 (Arsenal H).
