Manchester United handed injury boost after duo ruled out of Brentford fixture
The latest Man Utd injury news ahead of the trip to face Brentford in the Premier League this weekend.
Manchester United have been handed an injury boost ahead of their trip to face Brentford in the Premier League this weekend. Ruben Amorim's side are looking to build upon their win over Chelsea last time out when they face Brentford in the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday.
United will definitely be without Casemiro after he was sent off in the 2-1 win over Chelsea, though there is some positive injury news for their trip to West London.
Diogo Dalot returned to full training at the start of the week after he missed the last two matches due to injury. The Portugal defender picked up a knock over the last international break and was forced to withdraw from national team duty and miss the subsequent matches against both Man City and Chelsea.
However, the 26-year-old has been able to take part in the full training schedule this week and could be named in the matchday squad for the trip to face Brentford. It means Ruben Amorim might only be without two first-team stars this weekend, with Casemiro suspended and Lisandro Martinez still sidelined due to injury.
Martinez is still recovering from the Anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered against Crystal Palace in early February. He underwent successful surgery and his since returned to light training but is not ready to be involved in contact sessions with his teammates yet. The Argentine had hoped to return to action after the September international break but is now on course to be available for selection again next month.
In terms of other team news, Brentford have two injury doubts of their own ahead of Saturday's match. Gustavo Nunes missed their latest loss against Fulham as he recovered from a hamstring injury and might not be ready to play despite his recent return to training. Paris Maghoma has also been sidelined after he suffered a hamstring issue in August and is considered a doubt for the weekend clash.
