Up to 11 players might be unavailable for the Premier League match between Manchester United and Newcastle United.

Manchester United have little time to reflect on their defeat to Wolves, as they return to Premier League action this weekend.

The team suffered a 2-0 loss on Boxing Day, with captain Bruno Fernandes receiving a red card early in the second half. As a result, he will be suspended for the upcoming match against Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Sunday. Fellow midfielder Manuel Ugarte will also be unavailable, serving a one-match suspension after accumulating his fifth booking of the season.

United’s injury concerns add to their woes. Mason Mount is set to miss several weeks after sustaining an injury during the Manchester derby, while Victor Lindelof, who was substituted at halftime in the Carabao Cup clash against Tottenham, remains sidelined. Additionally, Luke Shaw has suffered a setback in his recovery and is expected to miss the game.

Newcastle United also face injury challenges, with up to six players potentially unavailable. Striker Callum Wilson is sidelined with a hamstring strain, and goalkeeper Nick Pope remains out with a knee injury. Long-term absentee Jamaal Lascelles is still recovering from a knee issue, and while Emil Krafth has resumed training after a broken collarbone, Sunday’s game may come too soon for him.

Defender Sven Botman remains doubtful as he nears a return from a serious knee injury. Meanwhile, Tino Livramento, who missed the Boxing Day match against Aston Villa due to illness, might also sit out given the short turnaroun

d time.
