Jose Mourinho still unsure on Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini return dates

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that he is still in the dark as to when Paul Pogba and Marouane Fellaini will return from injury.

Pogba has been absent since injuring his hamstring against Basel on September 12, while Fellaini damaged his knee for national side Belgium during the recent international break.

Mourinho does not know when his key midfield men will return to first-team action, but he is hopeful that some other absentees - including captain Michael Carrick - could make themselves available for the weekend trip to face Huddersfield Town.

"Hopefully some of them [can return at Huddersfield] but I don't know," he told reporters. "I don't know about Paul, I don't know about Fellaini."

In the absence of Pogba and Fellaini, Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera have played in both the 0-0 draw with Liverpool and 1-0 win against Benfica this week.
