Manchester United's players are slowly returning to action, but Erik ten Hag has warned that it could still be weeks before Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro are back in action. Martinez has been out since September due to a foot injury, while Casemiro last played on 1 September with a hamstring issue.
Ten Hag told a press conference that both the Argentinian and the Brazilian players have been back on the grass for some time but they are not yet fully recovered and need to make the "next steps" before they can return. He said it may take days, or even weeks, before they are ready.
The Red Devils still have a long list of injured players, but the likes of Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Anthony Martial are all expected to be back for the Premier League meeting with Tottenham on 14 January.
Rasmus Hojlund, on the other hand, is expected to return even sooner and is set to be involved on Monday at Wigan after recovering from the illness that kept him out of the defeat to Nottingham Forest. Ten Hag said he dropped out shortly before the game against Forest, but is back in training and looks set to make an appearance against Wigan.
