Manchester United will be eyeing a second-straight Premier League win when they entertain Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Ahead of the game, interim manager Michael Carrick has provided some team news. However, there was no update on Lisandro Martinez.
The central defender missed the recent outing against Everton on Monday night due to a calf problem. He has yet to return to training.
The lack of an update in the pre-match presser suggests that the World Cup winner is sidelined and may not be involved on Sunday.
In that case, Carrick has a simple decision to make while choosing his central defensive pairing to face the Eagles this weekend.
Leny Yoro had a fine outing alongside Harry Maguire in the heart of the defence on Merseyside.
The £52 million signing won 100 percent of his duels and tackles against the Toffees. He made five recoveries, completing 88 percent of his passes.
Yoro had a good performance in his first start under interim boss Carrick, and it appears a no-brainer decision to start him again if Martinez is out.
It is still unclear whether Benjamin Sesko will get the nod in the starting XI on the back of scoring for the third time in four substitute appearances.
The Slovenian has been brilliant coming off the bench, helping the Red Devils secure five additional points in the previous four league games.
Despite this, Carrick has refused to confirm whether Sesko will make his first start under him.
While Sesko’s inclusion in the XI remains doubtful, Yoro looks poised to continue in the starting line-up.
The former Lille man may want to redeem himself against Palace after a poor outing in the reverse fixture, where he was subbed off before the hour mark.
Yoro conceded a penalty and made an error leading to a shot. It was a forgettable day for the Frenchman. He could make amends against them on Sunday.
