Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag has revealed that Marcus Rashford and Jonny Evans will both be fit for Saturday's Premier League clash with Everton at Old Trafford.
The duo were substituted in the second half of the Manchester derby last weekend, and Ten Hag said that both players were carrying knocks ahead of the contest at the Etihad Stadium.
Rashford and Evans have been declared fit for the clash with the Toffees, but the squad has suffered a fresh injury blow, with Omari Forson ruled out.
The game with Everton will also come too soon for Rasmus Hojlund, with the Denmark international instead set to be available against Liverpool in the FA Cup next weekend, while Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka could also be back for the clash with Jurgen Klopp's side.
Ten Hag also provided a positive update on Mason Mount, revealing that the Englishman, who has struggled with injuries throughout the season, could be back for the Red Devils after the international break.
"That's the good news, they [Rashford and Evans] recovered after the derby, so they are available, the rest is the same squad apart from Omari Forson. He dropped out, he has an injury," Ten Hag told reporters during his press conference on Friday afternoon.
"Mason Mount I think he is in a good spell now and he will return shortly, I think after the international break. For next week, some players are planning to return, hopefully when the process will continue like it is now.
"Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka I expect them to be available for our game against Liverpool. Hojlund as well."
Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Anthony Martial, Tyrell Malacia and Tom Heaton are also sidelined through injury, and Ten Hag opened up on the impact of the fitness problems the team has faced this season.
"No team can deal with so many injuries, I think we played to maximum levels if you take in respect the availability of the players, we missed so many key players over the part of the season, the performances we have seen when the players are available in January and February the performances are very good," he added.
"When the players were not even fit they could do even better... it tells that we are in the right direction. So imagine we had many more players available and not setbacks and injuries, could easily have 75 wins and that tells the bright future of this team.
"When you compare it with other managers, other teams, or previous managers in this big club you can see there is a bright future. It is a good balance in ages in this squad.
"Young players, middle-aged players, imagine when they are available, could easily have won from 100 games 75. It is a big difference with the stats you mentioned."
Man United have lost their last two league matches against Fulham and Manchester City, with the results leaving them sixth in the Premier League table, six points behind fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur and 11 from Aston Villa in fourth.
