Manchester United will remain without Lisandro Martinez for tonight’s trip to face Everton in the Premier League.
The defender is ruled out for the visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium with a suspected calf injury, which could keep him out for one or two weeks.

The Argentine has featured in all of United’s last nine games, and he is replaced by Leny Yoro in the starting XI this evening, with Ayden Heaven on the bench.
The Red Devils are also without Mason Mount.
The midfielder last appeared in a matchday squad against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in January, but suffered a knock in training before facing Fulham and has missed every match since.
Michael Carrick is also missing defender Matthijs de Ligt, who is struggling with a back injury.
De Ligt continues to sit out after last playing against Crystal Palace on November 30, while full-back Patrick Dorgu, another absentee, injured his hamstring against Arsenal and has spent time in Dubai to recuperate.
Carrick stressed patience, explaining Mount is close but must return fully fit, whereas De Ligt still trails behind in his recovery.
Mount previously managed 14 straight appearances from September to December, scoring against Sunderland, Palace and Wolves, while De Ligt has now missed more than three months after previously playing every Premier League minute this season.
It has left Carrick with few options to mix up his team selection. After almost two weeks without a game, the head coach has stuck with what he knows.
Benjamin Sesko remains on the bench, with Bryan Mbeumo leading the attack in front of Matheus Cunha, Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes.
Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro keep their places in midfield, while it is the same as usual at full-back.
