Injury: Knee

Return date: April 2 vs Newcastle

Austria manager Ralf Rangnick said: "At the moment, I am assuming he'll play [vs Estonia]. It made more sense to leave them out [of the training session] again, just to give them one more day, but there are other candidates. It's also a question of whether Marcel feels ready for it himself."

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."

Raphael Varane

Injury: Knock

Return date: April 2 vs Newcastle

What Ten Hag has said: "It's difficult to say, but I think it's something small. I think he'll recover and be back after the international break."
