Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Istanbul Basaksehir

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Istanbul Basaksehir.

Manchester United will be looking to make it three wins from three in the Champions League when they travel to Istanbul Basaksehir on Wednesday evening.

The Red Devils beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 in their opening match and thrashed RB Leipzig 5-0 last week to take control of Group H.

However, while United may be well on their way to qualifying for the last 16 of UEFA's showpiece competition, they have struggled domestically and need to respond to Sunday's 1-0 loss to Arsenal.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the trip to Basaksehir, who have lost their first two group matches.

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Phil Jones has not featured since January because of a long-term knee problem. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expects the versatile centre-back, who is not part of United's Champions League squad, to be available for selection again in December.


Eric Bailly

Status: Out
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: November 21 (vs. West Bromwich Albion)

Eric Bailly, who has struggled with various injuries throughout his United career, will spend another one or two weeks on the sidelines recovering from a muscular issue that has restricted him to two Premier League outings this term.


Jesse Lingard

Status: Out
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: Unknown

Jesse Lingard is yet to make a Premier League appearance this season and is currently on the sidelines with an unspecified problem. Solskjaer recently stated that the Englishman will be out "for a few weeks", although it is unclear when he might be available for selection once again.


Alex Telles

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Coronavirus
Possible return date: November 4 (vs. Istanbul Basaksehir)

Alex Telles recently returned a positive coronavirus test, but it is unclear exactly when he was diagnosed with the respiratory disease, so a comeback date has not been specified. Due to travel restrictions, he is unlikely to play any part on Wednesday.


MANCHESTER UNITED'S SUSPENSION LIST

Anthony Martial has just served a three-match ban, although that did not carry over into European fixtures anyway.
