Manchester United will still be without Patrick Dorgu for the Champions League clash with Roma, but the Dane could be in line to return to the squad against Aston Villa on Sunday.
Dorgu trained for the first time since picking up a hamstring injury on international duty in September on Monday, but he won't be ready to face the in-form Italians at Old Trafford.
United's left-back crisis is set to continue for a little longer, with Luke Shaw not due back before the international break as he continues to recover from an injury that has kept him sidelined for the last five games.
"His first day with the group, Pat, so great to have him back," said Carrick. "He's worked ever so hard to be back with the group, but he won't be involved tomorrow. We'll see how he progresses through the week really, but great to have him back."
Shaw and Marcus Rashford both missed training on Monday, with Rashford continuing to get over hip and thigh injuries, although Carrick suggested he could have a chance of being involved later in the week.
"Luke definitely won't be around this week and fit at that point. Marcus, we'll just have to see day by day how he keeps improving," said Carrick.

The United boss did allay fears that Leny Yoro was struggling with an injury as well. The French defender wore strapping on his knee in training on Monday and has also worn it in recent games, but Carrick said he had been battling a problematic tendon.
"Leny's just had a bit of a tendon really, so it's one of them that kind of comes and goes, but he's been managing it, and he's been fine," said Carrick.
"I think he's been fantastic, to be honest, been one of our best players, and he has been since he came back first day pre-season. He's impressed us all a lot, so being delighted with Leny and his performances. He's on a really good pathway."
