BREAKING: Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez has been cleared to play against Arsenal on Wednesday by FA- Reason revealed
Loving life under the wing of Ruben Amorim so far, Manchester United face a stern test of their newfound mettle against Arsenal at the Emirates on Wednesday evening.
The Red Devils are still yet to lose under the former Sporting Lisbon coach and crushed Everton 4-0 on Sunday, where braces from Joshua Zirkzee and Marcus Rashford did the damage.
Amorim’s outfit have risen into the top half of the Premier League standings courtesy of Sunday’s emphatic triumph, only four points below Brighton & Hove Albion in the final Champions League position.
HHere’s our rounds up on Man United’s injury and suspension news ahead of their battle with Arsenal, who occupy second place after pummelling West Ham United 5-2 on Saturday.
Leny Yoro
Status: Out
Type of injury: Foot
Possible return date: December 7 (vs. Nottingham Forest)
Summer signing Leny Yoro is finally back in training after his summer foot fracture, but Amorim is refusing to rush him back into action before he is ready, so a comeback on Wednesday is believed to be out of the question.
Toby Collyer
Status: Out
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: Unknown
Young midfielder Toby Collyer is currently working his way back from a muscular injury, and there is still no knowing when the 20-year-old will be available for selection once more.
Victor Lindelof
Status: Out
Type of injury: Groin
Possible return date: Unknown
Victor Lindelof sustained a groin injury while representing Sweden during the November international break; there have been no updates on the defender’s condition since, but he is not anticipated to return at the Emirates.
Jonny Evans
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Knock
Possible return date: December 4 (vs. Arsenal)
Veteran defender Jonny Evans has been absent from Man United’s last two squads owing to a knock, and the 36-year-old will need a late fitness test to determine his availability for this one.
MANCHESTER UNITED’S SUSPENSION LIST
Kobbie Mainoo
Return date: December 7 (vs. Nottingham Forest)
Kobbie Mainoo was cautioned for the fifth time in the Premier League season during the win over Everton, meaning that the midfielder serves a one-match ban at the Emirates.
Lisandro Martinez
Return date: December 7 (vs. Nottingham Forest)
Amorim will also be deprived of Lisandro Martinez for the same reason; the Argentine picked up yellow card number five of the top-flight season just two minutes after Mainoo in Sunday’s success.
