However, Ten Hag will be buoyed by the returns of captain Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martinez to training, though the latter will not feature against Arsenal.
“Yesterday, Licha [Martinez] came to me and wanted to play on Sunday against Arsenal but he’s not ready yet,” Ten Hag revealed. “He needs a little bit more time to go through the process, but he is so desperate.
“Rashy [Rashford], of course, he trained this morning as well, and we have to see how he recovered from this. But I think it looks quite good and I hope he can tomorrow make the next training and then see if he is available for Sunday. Bruno [Fernandes] was on the pitch and Scott McTominay was on the pitch, so there are some players returning.”
