Paul Pogba heads a lengthy Manchester United injury list for the visit of in-form Leicester City to Old Trafford on Saturday with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer potentially missing seven first-team players.
Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial, Diogo Dalot and Eric Bailly will also definitely miss the clash with the Foxes, while Jesse Lingard and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are both doubtful after withdrawing from England's Euro 2020 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Kosovo.
Pogba twisted his ankle in the 1-1 draw at Southampton two weeks ago and did not play for France in their two matches during the international break, with the midfielder expected to return for the match at West Ham on 22 September.
Shaw (hamstring) and Martial (thigh) have still not recovered from the injuries sustained in the 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on 24 August, while Dalot (hip) and Bailly (knee) are longer-term injuries.
"The treatment room has been busy and it still is," said Solskjaer. "We don't really know who is going to be available.
"Maybe Aaron and Jesse will make it but that is it from the ones that pulled out.
"Paul will not be fit, not unless he has a miraculous recovery. He has not been ready to do training at 100%."
- Tough game -
==============
"Brendan's teams always play good football, so we have to play well to get the three points."
"Leicester did not want to lose him and that is why we spent the money we did on him."
