Manchester United will be without first-choice goalkeeper, David De Gea, for Friday night’s FA Cup clash at Arsenal.
De Gea did not travel with the rest of the squad to London on Thursday, with Sergio Romero likely to get the nod at the Emirates.
Luke Shaw and Alexis Sanchez are both in line to return for United in the fourth round encounter.
Sanchez left Arsenal for Old Trafford a year ago, but is yet to return to the Emirates to take on his former club.
Sanchez has missed United’s last two matches through injury but speaking ahead of the encounter, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed the Chilean would feature.
“He’ll be involved. I think he’ll love it if the crowd turn against him.
“As a player, pride kicks in and you think ‘I’ll show all of you’.
“He’s been fantastic in training, his attitude has been spot on so hopefully he’ll enjoy the game,” Solskjaer told United’s MUTV channel.
Chris Smalling is also back in training, but the encounter will come too soon for the defender, while Marouane Fellaini and Marcos Rojo are still missing.
