INJURY UPDATES:

Michael Carrick returned from International duty with a sprained ankle which set him out for three weeks. He joined Antonio Valencia & Luke Shaw on the sidelines. Chris Smalling limped off in the defeat against Spain but the knock isn’t thought to be serious, whereas Anthony Martial left Wembley on crutches though the severity of the injury isn’t yet known. Daily Mail reports that he will be out for 4 months though.

Marouane Fellaini withdrew from the Belgium squad with an injury he sustained against Westbrom. Marcos Rojo maybe rested against Watford after arriving back late from International duty with Argentina, which could bring back Darmian after missing the last game before International duty through suspension.
