Man United have two injury worries ahead of their Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday night.
Bruno Fernandes has not been able to join team training due to a broken hand. The Portuguese midfielder is wearing a protective cast, could still feature against the Eagles.
Harry Maguire, on the other hand, will play no part in the game and could miss the rest of the campaign in a major blow to Erik ten Hag.
The England defender has been a regular starter for Man United in recent months after playing his way back into form following a difficult start to the season.
But the 31-year-old has picked up a muscle that will keep him out for three weeks and the final three games of 2023/24.
That could eave Ten Hag without any natural centre-backs for Monday’s match, although Jonny Evans could return to the starting lineup after recovering from a muscle injury of his own. He will likely start alongside Casemiro in the backline.
Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Willy Kambwala and Tyrell Malacia remain on the treatment and are unavailable for selection.
