Martinez, Mbeumo, De Ligt - Manchester United latest injury news and return dates after double blow
The latest Man Utd injury news and potential return dates ahead of the weekend clash with Crystal Palace.
Manchester United were handed a double injury scare as they defeated Everton in the Premier League on Monday night.
Michael Carrick extended his unbeaten start to life as United head coach to six matches, while the Reds are now unbeaten across their last 10 Premier League games. United were forced to make one change to their starting line up when Leny Yoro was brought into the backline, while Benjamin Sesko started on the bench before his latest scoring heroics.
United sit fourth in the Premier League table, three points ahead of both Chelsea and Liverpool in the race for Champions League qualification. There is still plenty of work to do and Carrick will hope to add another three points to their tally when they host Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon. Here is all the latest injury news ahead of that match.
Manchester United latest injury news
Bryan Mbeumo - 1 March vs Crystal Palace (H)
Mbeumo hobbled off in the closing stages of United's win over Everton, but his injury did not look serious, and he should be back in the squad this weekend.
Lisandro Martinez - 4 March vs Newcastle (A)
Martinez missed the Everton win due to a minor calf injury and is expected to return to first-team training before the end of the week. He could be involved this weekend and should definitely be back to face Newcastle.
Mason Mount - 4 March vs Newcastle (A)
Mount has now missed four matches due to injury but is 'getting closer' to his return. He could be back across either of the next two matches but might not be risked until he is fully fit.
Matthijs De Ligt - 15 March vs Aston Villa (H)
De Ligt has now missed 15 matches after he suffered a back injury following the victory over Crystal Palace. It is hoped he will return to action next month, but even when he is fit, he might not be risked for a few matches.
Patrick Dorgu - 11 April vs Leeds (H)
Dorgu has missed three matches since he suffered a hamstring issue in the away win over Arsenal last month. He was initially expected to be out until the March international break and could return to face Leeds.
