“Patrick is a little bit further down the line really, in terms of a number of weeks but he’s progressing well,” Carrick said in his pre-Palace interview with MUTV, which you can watch in full from 08:00 GMT on Saturday morning.
“Licha is a lot closer than Patrick is. It will be a matter of days hopefully, it won’t be too long. We’ll assess him over the next day or two, and see where he is.
“Mason [Mount] is getting closer, Matthijs [de Ligt] is a little bit behind Mason but, if we can get the boys back, we’ll get them back as soon as we can.”
