Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will once again be working around a defensive injury crisis for Sunday's FA Cup semi-final with Brighton & Hove Albion at Wembley.
The Red Devils must cope without the suspended Harry Maguire this weekend, as the club captain was cautioned for the second time in this season's tournament in their quarter-final win over Fulham.
With Lisandro Martinez (foot) and Raphael Varane (ankle) sidelined, and Phil Jones not being considered for selection, Victor Lindelof is the only recognised centre-back in Man United's ranks this weekend and will likely be partnered by Luke Shaw.
Shaw only just came back from a thigh injury and was not moving comfortably towards the end of Thursday's Europa League loss to Sevilla, though, so Ten Hag may be forced to drop Casemiro into a makeshift centre-back role if the Englishman faces another layoff.
Tom Heaton's ankle injury means that David de Gea's place in goal is safe for now - despite his disaster class in Seville - while Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Tyrell Malacia could complete a ravaged rearguard, the latter displacing Diogo Dalot amid a turnaround of fewer than 72 hours.
Unless Casemiro is indeed required in defence, the Brazilian should link up with Christian Eriksen in the engine room, as Scott McTominay fights to recover from a knock in time for the semi-final, while Donny van de Beek misses out with his serious knee injury.
Bruno Fernandes's return from a ban will be welcomed with open arms, and the Portuguese is in line to displace Marcel Sabitzer, while a fit-again Marcus Rashford is a candidate to come in for the underwhelming Jadon Sancho on the left.
Antony's spot on the right is safe as Alejandro Garnacho nurses an ankle concern, but the ill-fated Anthony Martial limped off against Sevilla on Thursday, so Wout Weghorst may be called upon to spearhead the charge.
Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Shaw, Malacia; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst
