Speaking after the victory over Sheffield United, ten Hag said that he doesn’t expect any other players to be back for the Burnley game.

That means the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jonny Evans, Willy Kambwala and Raphael Varane are all still unavailable. It was hoped that at least one or two of these players would return to fitness in time for the weekend.

Expected Return Date – Monday 6th May v Crystal Palace

Lisandro Martinez (calf) and Victor Lindelof (hamstring) are believed to be closing in on a return to fitness but they have yet to be seen in full training.


Martinez has been out since the 1-1 draw against Brentford. It was estimated that he would be back in action within a month. Lindelof hasn’t played since picking up an injury in the exact same game.

Expected Return Date – Sunday 12th May v Arsenal
