Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag expects Anthony Martial, Antony and Scott McTominay to miss their huge Europa League first-leg showdown with Barcelona next week.
All three players are set to sit out again as the Red Devils face managerless rivals Leeds in the Premier League for the second time in the space of five days at Elland Road on Sunday following a lively four-goal Old Trafford draw in midweek.
And Ten Hag does not expect any to prove their fitness in time for next Thursday (February 16), when his side travel to the Camp Nou for the opening instalment of their knockout round play-off tie.
“The last (three) I don’t expect but we have some days obviously,” Ten Hag said of Martial, Antony and McTominay ahead of another meeting with Leeds.
Pressed on if any would be available for the clash with Barcelona, the Dutchman added: “I think the same answer. I can’t say for 100 per cent but I don’t expect it.”
