Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Nottingham Forest

Manchester United will aim to put one foot in the final of the EFL Cup when they meet Nottingham Forest in the first leg of their semi-final at the City Ground on Wednesday.

The Red Devils advanced past Charlton Athletic in the quarter-finals to make the last four as they endeavour to get their hands on the trophy for the first time since 2017.

Erik ten Hag's side suffered late disappointment in the Premier League at the weekend, though, as they fell to a 3-2 defeat to leaders Arsenal in North London.

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: January 28 (vs. Reading)

Diogo Dalot had to come off with a hamstring problem in Man United's quarter-final win over Charlton, and having not made the trip for the Arsenal contest, the quick turnaround means that the right-back will not return here.

Status: Out Type of injury: Leg Possible return date: January 28 (vs. Reading)

Anthony Martial was also absent from the squad to face Arsenal after aggravating a leg injury during the Manchester derby, and Ten Hag has ruled the Frenchman out of this one too.

Man United have no players suspended for this match, with Casemiro back from a one-game ban served in the defeat to Arsenal.
