Manchester United dealt new injury concern as TEN players could miss historic Champions League showdown
'Lisandro Martinez acknowledges he made a mistake' with explosive interview, says Michael Carrick

Manchester United have trained ahead of their Champions League clash against Como, though Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martinez were among several high-profile absentees.

Man Utd will be on the shores of Lake Como to take on Cesc Fabregas' side on Wednesday evening, aiming to bounce back from defeat to Atletico Madrid on matchday two of this season's league phase.

The game which will take place at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, following approval from UEFA, will be an historic one as it is the first time Man United have faced Como in a competitive fixture.

However, Michael Carrick may have been handed a selection dilemma as TEN senior players could miss the trip to Italy.

Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw, Ayden Heaven, Martinez and Rashford were all absent from Tuesday morning’s training session at Carrington, sparking fears they will not be named in the travelling squad later.

Mainoo, Shaw and Heaven missed the 1-1 draw with Leeds at the weekend, while Martinez was replaced at half-time after picking up a thigh injury.

Rashford, meanwhile, was a unused substitute at Elland Road and Carrick has confirmed the England international has been carrying a knock recently.

“Marcus has been carrying a little bit of something so we’re managing him to a point,” the Man United head coach confirmed.

As expected, long-term absentees Benjamin Sesko, Patrick Dorgu and Manuel Ugarte were all absent from the training session, as was third-choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton.

Leny Yoro is guaranteed to sit out against Como as he serves a suspension after being sent-off in the Spanish capital.

Carrick will provide a full team news update at his news conference on Tuesday evening at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, where he will be joined by a Man United player.
