Three Manchester United players are set to return against Arsenal, but two are injured

Bruno Fernandes, Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford could return for Manchester United against Arsenal on Sunday, but Mason Mount has been ruled out through injury.

Mount started his first Premier League game in seven months in the 4-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace on Monday but succumbed to a third injury of the campaign.

Luke Shaw has also suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring strain and could struggle to play again this season. Lisandro Martinez was pictured working the ball this week and has asked manager Erik ten Hag to play against Arsenal, but he is not ready to return from a calf strain that has kept him on the sidelines.

“I hope I have the players, yes,” Ten Hag said. “Players trained this morning. Bruno was on the field and Scott McTominay was on the field again. Some players are coming back but I have to report unfortunately that Mason Mount went down yesterday so he won’t be available for sunday.

“We have some doubts (for players to play again this season). Players are fighting to be available. It’s so amazing. Everyone is trying. Everyone is desperate to play.

“Yesterday Licha came to me and wanted to play on Sunday against Arsenal but he is not ready yet, he needs a bit more time to go through the process but he is so desperate. There are also: Rapha Varane, Victor Lindelof. Luke Shaw had a setback in his trial as well, but there is still hope and he will fight to be available for the final.

“(Martinez) is desperate to play, he misses him so much, the team missed him. He wants to play, but he has had three injuries throughout the season and now he is almost there, injury free, at the end of the healing process , but now he has to get back to team training and matches.

“I will never play with a player, never. It’s about them, it’s about their future. That’s the most important thing in their career and I have to take responsibility for that. The club is the most important thing, but the safety, the health of the player. high level.

“Rashford trained this morning as well. We’ll have to see how he recovers from that but he looks pretty good. Hopefully he’ll train tomorrow and then we’ll see if he’s available for Sunday.

“I don’t take big risks with the players now to win on Sunday at the risk of going out. But I think it’s not that different in a normal situation if you didn’t have a cup final.”
