Manchester United on Thursday confirmed that their Argentine defender Marcos Rojo will be available for the forthcoming English Premier League (EPL) clash with Southampton at the Old Trafford here on Saturday.
The 27-year-old was doubtful after receiving a fifth yellow card of the EPL season on the Boxing Day fixture against Burnley.
Rojo will be available for selection in the playing eleven, according to EPL rules which says: "Matchweek 19 marks the halfway point of the 2017/18 season and is the final round of matches when receiving a fifth booking of the campaign can result in a one-match ban."
Meanwhile, defenders Chris Smalling, Matteo Darmian, skipper Antonio Valencia and forward Anthony Martial are in doubt about their availability while central midfielders Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick are not expected to return over the festival period.
