Manchester United will be without six players for their impending Premier League return fixture with Leeds United.
Having played the same opponents at Old Trafford on Wednesday night - with Marcus Rashford and returning England forward Jadon Sancho grabbing the goals in a fightback 2-2 draw - bragging rights will again be on the line at Elland Road this forthcoming matchday.
But the Reds have mounting selection concerns going into Sunday's match. Casemiro is missing through suspension following his red card against Crystal Palace. Antony, Christian Eriksen, Anthony Martial, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek are all unavailable due to injury.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (illness) is another doubt heading towards Sunday afternoon (2pm), but Erik ten Hag could also welcome him back. Here is the current state of play on the treatment table;
Antony
Injury: Leg
Possible return date: February 15 vs Barcelona
What Ten Hag has said: "I don't expect [Antony, Martial and McTominay to feature], but we have some days. Will they be back against Barcelona? Same answer. I can't say 100 per cent, but I don't expect it."
Christian Eriksen
Injury: Ankle
Return date: TBC
A statement from the club read: "While investigations are continuing, initial assessments indicate Eriksen is likely to be out until late April or early May. Eriksen's absence will be a big disappointment to manager Erik ten Hag and fans given the consistency of his performances throughout the season so far."
Anthony Martial
Injury: Hip
Possible return date: February 15 vs Barcelona
What Ten Hag has said: "At the minute, it is his hip. He is not always available, but also I see the other side when he is available. He was never 100 per cent this season, but he had a big impact every time he is available, even when he is at 80, 85, 90 per cent."
Scott McTominay
Injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: February 15 vs Barcelona
What Ten Hag has said: "He is not available for the coming week, two weeks, maybe even longer."
Donny van de Beek
Injury: Knee
Return date: Next season
What Ten Hag has said: "Of course, the bad news is that he is out for the rest of the season, but the good news is, in the longer-term, his knee will be okay and he will be ready again to play at the highest levels and will be ready for the start of pre-season."
