Manchester United will be without in-form striker Rasmus Hojlund for Saturday's Premier League clash against Fulham at Old Trafford.
Manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that the 20-year-old – who has scored in each of his last six games – will be sidelined for "two to three weeks" with a muscle injury.
The Red Devils have also confirmed that left-back Luke Shaw is facing "a few months" on the sidelines after suffering a recurrence of a muscle injury in last weekend's 2-1 victory at Luton Town.
Fellow defenders Aaron Wan-Bissaka (unspecified), Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia (both knee), all remain in the treatment room along with Anthony Martial (groin) and Mason Mount (calf).
Victor Lindelof replaced Shaw on the stroke of half time against Luton and he could be tasked with operating a left-back on Saturday; Sofyan Amrabat is another option having briefly played on the left side of defence earlier this season, while Diogo Dalot is expected to continue at right-back.
Should Lindelof start at left-back, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans will all battle to play in central defence, with the former two seemingly the most likely duo to begin against Fulham.
Kobbie Mainoo has receive plenty of plaudits for his performances in midfield and the 18-year-old is expected to link arms with Casemiro, while captain Bruno Fernandes – who scored a stoppage-time winner in the 1-0 win at Fulham in November last year – is set to keep his place in the number 10 role.
The absence of Hojlund, as well as Martial, will likely see Marcus Rashford operate as a central striker, with Antony recalled to the right flank and Alejandro Garnacho moved over to the left side of the front three.
Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Lindelof; Casemiro, Mainoo; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Rashford
