**Man Utd forward Marcus Rashford was forced off during the 2-2 draw against Everton with a muscular injury.**
Speaking after the match, manager Michael Carrick said that the forward felt “something”.
Rashford was subsequently replaced as a precaution, and it remains to be seen when he will return to action.
The Red Devils take on Azeri side [**Sabah FK**](https://manunews.com/blog/man-utd-predicted-lineup-vs-sabah/) in their first Champions League fixture on Thursday night.
**Expected Return Date – Unknown**
Carlos Baleba
-------------
Speaking to the media about the midfielder’s ankle injury at the end of last month, Carrick said that the player was “three weeks” away from returning to full fitness.
That suggests we should see Baleba back in training by the end of next week if all goes to plan.
**Expected Return Date – Sunday 20th September vs Fulham (a)**
Matthijs de Ligt
----------------
The centre-back has been training with the first-team squad for the best part of three weeks.
De Ligt has been out with a back problem for 9 months, so getting back to match fitness will take a while. Even so, he shouldn’t be far away from making his comeback.
**Expected Return Date – Late September**
Manuel Ugarte
-------------
The midfielder sustained a serious knee injury when playing for Uruguay at the World Cup back in late June.
Ugarte has undergone surgery, and he is set to be on the treatment table for several months.
**Expected Return Date – 2027**
Amad
----
The winger has not been seen in action since pre-season. Speaking before the win over Ipswich, Carrick said that he would be out for a “little while longer”.
No exact time frame has been given for Amad’s comeback, but there are reports that he could remain on the sidelines until the next international break.
**Expected Return Date – Unknown**
Tom Heaton
----------
The keeper sustained a hamstring injury against Paris Saint-Germain in a friendly at the beginning of August.
Heaton has not featured in a matchday squad since the season started last month.
