Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has admitted that Anthony Martial and Antony are unlikely to feature for the Reds against Fulham at the weekend.
The Reds take on their Premier League rivals in the FA Cup quarter-finals at Old Trafford on Sunday, with the clash marking the final outing before the international break. Ten Hag's men will be looking to return to Wembley once again this term, with the semi-finals and final of the competition staged at the national stadium.
United progressed to the quarter-finals of the Europa League after securing a 5-1 aggregate victory over La Liga side Real Betis - and will face fellow Spanish outfit Sevilla in the last-eight. They were without attacking duo Martial and Antony for the trip to Spain, with the Brazilian ace sidelined through illness, while the French striker was not fit enough to feature, despite returning to training.

Ten Hag was asked about the two absentees during his pre-Fulham press conference on Friday. He suggested they are doubts for the clash at the weekend.
"So we have to talk about [it] and I think Anthony Martial will not be available and Antony dos Santos, we have to see how he will progress," said Ten Hag.
Although the Reds will be without Casemiro through suspension, Ten Hag has been boosted by the return of loanee Marcel Sabitzer, who made his comeback after a short lay-off on Thursday.
Ten Hag added: "We did really well without Casemiro, against Arsenal, the two against Leeds. I think we also did really well without Casemiro also at the start of the season, but I want to have Casemiro available, because he has a huge impact on our game."
The Reds will also be without Alejandro Garnacho, Donny van de Beek and Christian Eriksen, with the trio all sidelined through injury.
