Manchester United will face Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday.
United will finally return to competitive action after a three-week international break.
United head coach Michael Carrick will have plenty to think about ahead of the Tottenham clash, with the fitness of several players now a major concern.
We believe as many as seven United players face uncertainty ahead of the weekend due to fitness issues.
Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo both withdrew from the England squad after suffering fitness problems.
Benjamin Sesko was initially named in the Slovenia squad for their UEFA Nations League fixtures, but he was also forced to withdraw after aggravating a shin problem he sustained last season.
Matthijs de Ligt remains a long-term absentee, although he took an important step towards his return by starting United’s friendly against Lausanne-Sport.
However, Carrick may prefer to give the Dutchman a few more training sessions before throwing him back into competitive action.
Amad Diallo is also edging closer to a return after suffering a setback before the opening Premier League game of the campaign.
The Ivorian did not feature in the recent friendly against Lausanne-Sport, raising further doubts over whether he will be fit to face Tottenham.
Patrick Dorgu impressed in an attacking role for Denmark during the international break but suffered a hamstring injury against Wales.
Noussair Mazraoui also caught the eye for Morocco at left-back. He even found the net against Gabon but sustained a back injury in the next game against Lesotho.
Carrick is expected to provide a crucial update on these injury concerns during his press conference tomorrow.
