Manchester United training squad vs Omonia Nicosia confirmed as five players missing

Anthony Martial did not train on Wednesday ahead of Manchester United's match against Omonia in the Europa League.

Martial sustained a hip injury in the pre-match warm-up at Goodison Park at the weekend he was forced to leave the pitch in the first half of that game. Martial will not be available for Omonia and a late decision will be made on his fitness for Newcastle.

"Not today [Martial training], we will see how it develops for Sunday," Ten Hag said at his press conference at Carrington on Wednesday. "Harry [Maguire] is out. And longer-term Donny van de Beek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka."
