Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed his 21-man squad for Thursday's Europa League clash with FCSB, and there is once again no space for Marcus Rashford, but Alejandro Garnacho is included.
The Red Devils recorded a 2-1 victory over Rangers in their last European contest, with the result moving them into fourth spot in the Europa League table and in an excellent spot when it comes to reaching the knockout round.
A win would guarantee that Man United finish in the top eight, while a draw or a defeat could also be enough depending on results elsewhere, with the league phase of the competition concluding on Thursday night.
Amorim is expected to shuffle his pack for this clash with one eye on Sunday's Premier League game against Crystal Palace.
Luke Shaw returned to training on Wednesday, but the England international will not be involved in this game, with his return to action unlikely to occur until the middle of February at the very earliest.

Rashford left out of Man United's squad against FCSB
Rashford has not featured for Man United since December 12, and despite training alongside his teammates on Wednesday morning, the Englishman has not made the trip to Bucharest.
Amorim said after Sunday's 1-0 win over Fulham in the Premier League that there had been no change regarding his situation at Old Trafford and issued a damning verdict on his future with the Red Devils.
"It's the same situation for every player," Amorim told reporters during his post-match press conference at Craven Cottage. "If you do the maximum, if you do the right things – we can use every player.
"You can see it today [Sunday] on the bench – we miss a little bit of pace to go, to change the game, to move some pieces, but I prefer [it] like that. I will put [Jorge] Vital [on the bench] before I put a player that doesn't give the maximum every day so I will not change that."

Garnacho included in Man United squad amid transfer talk
However, there is a spot in the squad for Garnacho, who continues to be linked with a move away from the 20-time English champions in the latter stages of the transfer window.
Napoli and Chelsea are both keen on the 20-year-old, and Man United are open to a sale, but the Red Devils are not believed to be willing to listen to offers of under £60m, making a mid-season deal difficult.
Unlike Rashford, Garnacho is currently a part of Amorim's first XI, again starting against Fulham on Sunday, but he could be rested against FCSB with a view to starting against Palace on Sunday.
Casemiro and Tyrell Malacia have also made the trip, but both could also be on their way out of Old Trafford before the January transfer window closes for business, with Roma keen on the former and Real Betis eyeing a loan deal for the latter.
Man United squad vs. FCSB:
Bayindir, Onana, Heaton; Dalot, De Ligt, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, Martinez, Mazraoui, Yoro; Casemiro, Collyer, Eriksen, Fernandes, Mainoo, Ugarte; Amad, Garnacho, Hojlund, Zirkzee
