Mason Mount
Mount had already been out with a thigh injury since late August, but the midfielder had only just returned against Spurs when he had to get subbed off due to a face injury.
Erik Ten Hag said: “I have seen how Mason came off. He was bleeding, so it’s clear there are some problems there, and we have to see how they recover in the coming days.”
His status is set at 50% and he is currently being assessed over whether he’ll be available for selection against Porto in the Europa League. However, a more realistic return is Sunday’s game against Villa.
Expected return date – Sunday 6 October vs Aston Villa (A)
Luke Shaw
Shaw has been out since pre-season when he suffered a leg injury and his timeline was expecting him to return after the first international break at the start of September.
However, the left-back suffered a setback which has kept him out for longer, but Shaw is much closer to a return now. The next international break comes after this week, he could return before.
Ten Hag said: “I think it’s probably [before the break], but I can’t say I’m 100 per cent sure. The plan is just to be back before, but as I say, I can’t say this 100 per cent for sure. It could also be shortly after the break.”
Expected return date – Sunday 6 October vs Aston Villa (A)
