Manchester United and Brighton prepare to meet in the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford on Wednesday night while both clubs list multiple injuries, raising the prospect of several players missing the tie.
Reports across outlets say the number of unavailable or doubtful players could be high, with one source suggesting as many as 15 players in total may miss the match. Another outlet frames the situation as an ongoing injury check, with Manchester United manager Michael Carrick providing an update on the squad’s fitness.
While both reports agree that the fixture is affected by injury concerns, they differ in emphasis: one focuses on the scale of possible absences, and the other highlights Carrick’s role in communicating the latest information. Together, the coverage indicates that squad selection for both teams is constrained and likely to depend on late fitness assessments.
