Antony, Maguire, Martial - Man United injury news and return dates ahead of Barcelona clash

Manchester United are expected to welcome Harry Maguire and Antony back for their Europa League second-leg clash at home to Barcelona on Thursday evening.

United manager Erik ten Hag confirmed that the pair will likely be in contention to return at Old Trafford, having both been sidelined for Sunday's win against Leicester. That win was Maguire's only absence as a result of a minor knee problem, while Brazilian winger Antony has been sidelined for the last four games with a leg injury.

The Reds welcome Barcelona to M16 for a crucial second-leg decider, the pair having played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at Camp Nou last week. Marcel Sabitzer and Lisandro Martinez both missed that opener through suspension and will now be available for selection.

Casemiro will also return to face an old foe, having served the last of his three-game domestic ban against the Foxes on Sunday. However, Anthony Martial remains sidelined after a hip injury picked up three weeks ago.

Here's the latest from the treatment room as United prepare to host Barcelona.

Antony

Injury: Leg

Possible return date: February 23 vs Barcelona

Harry Maguire

Injury: Knee

Possible return date: February 23 vs Barcelona

What Ten Hag has said: "What we do differently (from the first leg) you we will see tomorrow on the pitch. We have an idea, of course, but we can't tell that now."

Anthony Martial

Injury: Hip

Possible return date: March 5 vs Liverpool

What Ten Hag has said: "Anthony Martial is not available. He is back on the pitch, we wait for team training."
