Benjamin Sesko did not travel with the Manchester United squad as they travelled to face Fulham tomorrow, but Michael Carrick has been handed a triple boost as Carlos Baleba, Luke Shaw and Matthijs de Ligt all travelled to the capital.
United are making their way to the capital on Saturday afternoon, taking the train from Stockport Station.
Sources have confirmed that Sesko was not present with the squad, casting doubt over his involvement at Craven Cottage, but Baleba, Shaw and De Ligt look poised to be available against Fulham.
When Carrick was asked if Shaw and Baleba would be available for this weekend, he said: “There’s kind of a chance with both of them. Don’t know totally 100% yet. It’s short-term [with Shaw], we’re just working toward the game.”
Sesko's absence would be a blow, but Carrick has shown a liking for playing a striker-less attack.
United need a win against Fulham after suffering a defeat in the Manchester derby and crashing out of the Carabao Cup third round against Brighton earlier in the week.
Confirmed squad members vs Fulham:
Goalkeepers: Lammens, Darlow, Mee,
Defenders: Maguire, De Ligt, Yoro, Shaw, Dorgu, Mazraoui, Heaven, Martinez, Dalot.
Midfielders: Fernandes, Tielemans, Mount, Mainoo, Santos.
Attackers: Lacey, Rashford, Mbeumo, Zirkzee, Cunha.
