Marcus Rashford could miss Manchester United's Europa League quarter-final second leg against Granada.
Rashford, who scored in the first leg last week, missed training on Tuesday and Wednesday due to a foot injury.
DON'T MISS:
United will be missing suspended players Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, and Scott McTominay, with David de Gea set to appear in goal.
Rashford may be replaced in the United assault by Mason Greenwood, Daniel James, or Amad.
Eric Bailly has returned to England after testing positive for Covid-19 while on international duty with the Ivory Coast, but he is unavailable for Granada's visit, so Axel Tuanzebe will start alongside Victor Lindelof.
DON'T MISS:
"We have to make sure we get home," Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said emphatically.
"I always chose a team that I believe will win a game, and we will head into this game determined to win."
"I know Granada will want to come and give it their all, but we also want to boost our results and build on the momentum we've built with a strong result."
There will be a few shifts, some of which may be implemented, while others may be rotated.
We're not thinking about the implications of [possible suspensions]; instead, we head into a game knowing we have to do whatever we can to win.
If the tackle is there to be taken, we don't want any sloppy yellow cards; just play the challenge properly, no talking motions, and we'll be fine."
Tuanzebe has not played since the 2-1 loss at the hands of Sheffield United in January when he was subjected to racial attacks.
The 23-year-old made a strong start to the season, shutting down Kylian Mbappe in United's 2-1 Champions League group win at Paris Saint-Germain, but the academy product has only appeared twice this season.
"Axel has always been a very optimistic and hardworking guy, and Victor and Harry have formed an extremely strong relationship," Solskjaer said.
"Eric's come in and played pretty well when he's played; his opportunities have been small, but he's prepared well and is up for this challenge, and I don't think [the abuse] influenced him back then, no."
