Manchester United fans, this is becoming a serious problem! 😭💔 The Red Devils have been hit by another worrying injury situation just ONE DAY before their crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Como in Italy! 🏆⚔️
Michael Carrick has been handed a massive selection headache, with several important first-team players missing from training at Carrington. With United desperate to turn their season around, this is certainly not the kind of news the manager wanted to hear! 😳
🚨 HERE ARE THE SEVEN PLAYERS WHO WERE ABSENT!
❌ Kobbie Mainoo 🇬🇧
❌ Luke Shaw 🏴
❌ Lisandro Martínez 🇦🇷
❌ Marcus Rashford 🏴
❌ Ayden Heaven 🏴
❌ Benjamin Šeško 🇸🇮
❌ Patrick Dorgu 🇩🇰
😰 THE DEFENCE IS BECOMING A MAJOR CONCERN!
The biggest worry is at the back, where Lisandro Martínez, Luke Shaw and Ayden Heaven have all been absent from training.
Martínez was forced off at half-time during Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Leeds United after experiencing discomfort in his thigh. His potential absence would be another painful blow for Carrick, who needs his defensive leaders to be available for such a crucial European encounter.
Shaw has also missed recent matches, while Heaven was unavailable against Leeds because of illness. To make matters worse, Leny Yoro is suspended after his red card against Atlético Madrid! 😱💔
That leaves Carrick facing some difficult decisions about how to organise his defence against a Como side managed by Cesc Fàbregas. ⚔️
🔥 MAINOO’S ABSENCE IS ANOTHER BIG HEADACHE!
Kobbie Mainoo has missed United’s recent matches, and his absence from training raises further questions about his availability.
The young midfielder offers composure, energy and ball progression in the middle of the pitch. Without him, Carrick may have to rethink his midfield combination for a match where United desperately need control and creativity. 🔴⚽
💣 WHAT ABOUT RASHFORD AND ŠEŠKO?
Marcus Rashford was also missing from the training session as he continues to manage an injury issue.
Meanwhile, Šeško’s absence adds another concern to United’s attacking options. The Slovenian striker could be an important weapon in a match where the Red Devils need goals to secure a positive result.
Patrick Dorgu is also facing a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring problem, leaving United with even more selection complications. 😭
✅ THERE IS AT LEAST SOME POSITIVE NEWS!
Matthijs de Ligt has returned to training after recovering from back surgery, although he has yet to make an appearance since his return.
Young defenders Dan Armer and Jaydan Kamason have also trained with the first team, potentially giving Carrick additional options as he tries to solve his defensive problems. 👀🔥
🏆 MANCHESTER UNITED NEED A RESPONSE!
After their 2-0 Champions League defeat against Atlético Madrid and the frustrating 1-1 draw against Leeds United, the pressure is mounting on Carrick and his players.
The trip to Como presents another major test, and United cannot afford to approach it carelessly. The final availability decisions will be crucial, especially with several players still facing fitness concerns.
One thing is certain: the remaining fit players must be ready to step up if United are going to return from Italy with all three points! 💪🔴
🤔 UNITED FANS, BE HONEST!
With Mainoo, Shaw, Martínez, Rashford, Heaven, Šeško and Dorgu missing from training, can Manchester United still defeat Como?
🔥 WHO SHOULD CARRICK START IN DEFENCE AND MIDFIELD?
