There is some uncertainty surrounding Manchester United's midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, ahead of their game against Crystal Palace tonight. The team's captain was seen wearing a protective cast on his wrist, raising questions about his availability for the match. Manager Erik ten Hag confirmed that there is a possibility Fernandes may not be able to play.
Although Fernandes has not missed a single game due to injury since joining the club, his manager revealed on Friday that he is determined to fight and be a part of the game. Another key player, Marcus Rashford, is also in doubt for tonight's game. The Englishman has been out of action since sustaining an injury in the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City. He missed the team's recent matches against Sheffield United and Burnley.
Ten Hag stated on Thursday that Rashford's injury has not fully healed, which could result in him missing the match in London. There is also some concern about Scott McTominay, who suffered an injury during the team's game against Burnley. A decision will be made closer to the game about whether he will be included in the squad.
In more positive news, Lisandro Martinez returned to training this week, but he is unlikely to be available for the game. The same goes for Victor Lindelof, Raphael Varane, Willy Kambwala, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia. However, Jonny Evans is back in training and could provide some much-needed defensive options for the manager, who has had to rely on Casemiro to fill in recently.
Furthermore, Anthony Martial was also seen back in first-team training after being sidelined since December due to surgery. There is a possibility that he will play a part in the final weeks of the season, which is exciting news for the team. On the other side, Crystal Palace will have Marc Guehi back in the squad after recovering from knee surgery. The defender has been out of action for the past three months. Additionally, midfielder Eberechi Eze is expected to return after missing the team's previous match against Fulham.
The predicted lineup for Manchester United includes Onana, Dalot, Casemiro, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, Mainoo, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho, and Hojlund. The game is set to kick off at 8pm BST and will be broadcasted live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.
