Manchester United travel to Spain to play Atletico Madrid in the Champions League with multiple injury doubts and some confirmed absences. Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo are among the most significant concerns, with reports saying both miss training sessions and may not travel, depending on late assessments. Michael Carrick indicates the situation involves physical issues, and the club is making late calls close to the match.
Alongside Shaw and Mainoo, other players are reported to be unavailable or ruled out for the game. Outlet coverage lists a depleted 23-man squad, including mentions of omissions such as Benjamin Sesko, Patrick Dorgu and Noussair Mazraoui from the traveling group in some reports. Manchester Evening News also notes United’s approach to Champions League away squads, including why they do not always reveal line-ups early. Different previews and predicted XIs reflect the same central theme: United head into the tie with limited options due to injuries.
