Manchester United training squad for Real Betis second leg as three return

Marcel Sabitzer has returned to Manchester United training ahead of their Europa League second leg against Real Betis. The Austrian midfielder has missed the last two matches with an unspecified setback.

Anthony Martial and Victor Lindelof also trained with the United squad on Wednesday morning ahead of their flight to Spain later in the day, but Antony was not spotted taking part in the session.

Alejandro Garnacho was also missing after it was confirmed he damaged ankle ligaments during Sunday's goalless draw with Southampton. The 18-year-old will miss United's upcoming games against Real Betis and Fulham in the Europa League and FA Cup respectively, and will also not link up with the Argentina squad during the international break later this month.

Casemiro is expected to start the game, given that he will miss the next four domestic matches through suspension after his red card last weekend.

The Brazil international is walking a suspension tightrope heading into the match, and will also serve a one-match European ban if he picks up a yellow card against Betis.

Yellow cards are wiped after the quarter-final stage, with everyone getting a clean slate for the semi-finals onward. However, should he, or any other player, pick up a third booking in the second leg of a possible quarter-final, they would miss the semi-final first leg.

United training squad vs Real Betis:

De Gea, Butland, Heaton, Bishop; Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, Martinez, Shaw, Varane, Wan-Bissaka; Casemiro, McTominay, Fred, Sabitzer, Fernandes, Mainoo, Iqbal; Elanga, Pellistri, Sancho, Rashford, Weghorst, Martial.
