Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. RB Leipzig

Man United injury, suspension list vs. RB Leipzig

Manchester United will be looking to book their spot in the last-16 stage of the Champions League when they travel to Germany to face RB Leipzig on Tuesday night.

The Red Devils will be guaranteed a spot in the knockout round if they avoid defeat, while they will claim first spot in the section if they pick up a draw and Paris Saint-Germain do not beat Istanbul Basaksehir.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will enter the European contest off the back of a 3-1 victory over West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Leipzig, who will go through if they overcome the 20-time English champions.


Edinson Cavani

Status: Out Type of injury: Muscle Possible return date: December 12 (vs. Manchester City)

Edinson Cavani will miss out for United against Leipzig, with the Uruguay international picking up a muscular problem during the first half of Saturday's clash with West Ham, which led to his withdrawal at the break.


Luke Shaw

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: December 8 (vs. Leipzig)

Luke Shaw has been on the sidelines since the early stages of November due to a hamstring injury, but the left-back has made excellent progress in his recovery and could be available for this game.


Phil Jones

Status: Out Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: Unknown

Phil Jones remains on the sidelines with a long-term knee problem, although the centre-back would not have been available for this match as he was not included in the club's Champions League squad.


Anthony Martial

Status: Out Type of injury: Muscle Possible return date: December 12 (vs. Manchester City)

Anthony Martial limped off the field in the second half of Saturday's clash with West Ham, having picked up a muscular strain. The France international will not be available for the clash in Germany but could feature against Manchester City at the weekend.


David de Gea

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: December 8 (vs. Leipzig)

David de Gea did not feature against West Ham on Saturday, having suffered a recurrence of the knee injury that he picked up against Southampton. However, the Spain international is expected to replace Dean Henderson between the sticks for Tuesday night's European clash.


MANCHESTER UNITED'S SUSPENSION LIST

Fred

Status: Out Possible return date: December 12 (vs. Manchester City)

United will be unable to call upon key midfielder Fred on Tuesday night as the Brazilian is suspended due to the two yellow cards that he picked up during last week's clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
