Shaw, Mount, Bayindir - Manchester United latest injury news and return dates vs Fulham
The latest Man Utd injury and team news ahead of facing Fulham in the FA Cup fixture.
Manchester United could be without ten senior players when they face Fulham in the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon. United are still contending with an injury crisis this weekend, while Patrick Dorgu is set to miss the match through suspension.
United did not welcome any injured players back for their midweek win over Ipswich Town and head coach Ruben Amorim does not expect anyone else to be available against Fulham. Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo have both been ruled out for the remainder of the season, while midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is not expected back in action until after the March international break.
It means Amorim is limited with what he can do to his side this weekend and a few youngsters could be named on the bench given the lack of senior options at his disposal. Here is a look at all the latest injury news and expected return dates:
Manchester United latest injury news and return dates
Toby Collyer - 6 March vs Real Sociedad (A)
Amorim previously claimed Collyer was the injured player closest to a return. He is not expected back in the squad this weekend but could be back to face Real Sociedad next week.
Mason Mount - 16 March vs Leicester (A)
United are confident Mount will return to action before the end of the season, and he should be available for selection again next month. Amorim has said he is closer to a return than Luke Shaw.
Luke Shaw - 1 April vs Nottingham Forest (A)
Shaw suffered another setback upon his recent return to injury and will not be rushed back to action. Amorim does not have a specific date in mind for his return, but it could be early next month.
Kobbie Mainoo - 1 April vs Nottingham Forest (A)
Mainoo will miss around five more weeks of action after he suffered a training injury earlier in the week. He is expected to be sidelined until after the March international break, but could return slightly earlier if United reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Altay Bayindir - Unknown
United do not have a specific date in mind for Bayindir's return to action but Amorim has confirmed he is making a recovery from his recent setback.
Tom Heaton - Unknown
Heaton is currently sidelined with an unspecified injury but Amorim also confirmed he is making a recovery. It would not be a surprise if he retired this summer.
Jonny Evans - Unknown
There have not been any specific updates on Evans for a while. It is not known how long he will be out for, or what role he will have even when he is available again.
Amad Diallo - End of the season
Amad suffered ankle ligament damage in training earlier this month and Amorim expects the forward to miss the remainder of the season.
Lisandro Martinez - End of the season at the earliest
Martinez has been ruled out for the remainder of the season but the true timescale of his setback is unknown. He could be out anywhere from six months to an entire year.
