Evans, Lindelof, Shaw - Manchester United team news and injury latest as key duo set to return today

Manchester United will welcome two suspended players back when they face Nottingham Forest tonight but there are no players set to return from injury for the clash.

Ruben Amorim tasted his first defeat as United head coach against Arsenal in midweek and will be looking to do so when they host Forest at Old Trafford, with kick-off at 5:30pm today.

Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo will both be available for selection after they missed the Arsenal loss, though United will still be without a trio of senior defenders for the clash. Here is all the United team news ahead of facing Forest:

Victor Lindelof - 12 December vs Viktoria Plzen (A)

Lindelof has not featured in a matchday squad under Amorim yet after he suffered an injury during the November international break. Speaking at his pre-match press conference yesterday, the United head coach confirmed Lindelof had returned to training and could be available next week.

Toby Collyer - 12 December vs Viktoria Plzen (A)

Collyer was initially ruled out for a month at the start of November and could be in contention next week. It remains to be seen whether or not he will get first-team opportunities under Amorim, with a January loan exit already under consideration.

Jonny Evans - 15 December vs Man City (A)

Evans has missed the previous three United matches with an unspecified issue, which was initially reported as a knock. He is not expected to be sidelined for a long time and so could return for the Manchester derby clash next weekend.

Luke Shaw - 26 December vs Wolves (A)

Shaw has suffered a fresh hamstring issue that is expected to keep him out for a few weeks. United won't want to rush him back even when he is available, so it might not be until Boxing Day that we see him in action again.
