Man Utd injury latest as Mainoo, Shaw and Sesko updates given for Atletico Madrid clash

· Mirror

Manchester United have a number of injury concerns ahead of their Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid on Tuesday evening

It's back to Champions League action for Manchester United, as they look to put the disappointment of the weekend's game behind them. United had to settle for a point against Tottenham thanks to a stoppage-time equaliser.

It extended United's poor form in the league, with Michael Carrick's side winless in their last four league matches. A strong showing in Spain would silence the doubts surrounding the squad, and could serve as a launchpad for the remainder of the campaign.

However, the weekend's Premier League clash has dealt United a couple of fitness setbacks. With that in mind, here's the latest from the medical room at Old Trafford.

Kobbie Mainoo

Injury: Unknown

The midfielder has been left out of the travelling party for the clash with Atletico.

What Carrick has said: > "They've not travelled, both picked up issues in the game at the weekend so they're out."

Potential return date: Unknown

Luke Shaw

Injury: Unknown

Like Mainoo, Shaw sustained a knock against Spurs and has been ruled out of the trip to Spain.

What Carrick has said: > "They've not travelled, both picked up issues in the game at the weekend so they're out."

Potential return date: Unknown

Benjamin Sesko

Injury: Shin

The striker was forced to pull out of the Slovenia squad during the international break and has sat out the last two Premier League fixtures after sustaining the issue in the Carabao Cup tie against Brighton last month.

What Carrick has said: > "We're still waiting for a few extra tests. We need to be on top of it. We haven't got a timeframe."

Potential return date: Unknown

Patrick Dorgu

Injury: Thigh

The full-back was substituted during Denmark's Nations League encounter with Wales, and headed back to United for assessment.

What Carrick has said: > "Patrick came off and looks like he'll be out for probably a number of weeks."

Potential return date: Late November/early December

Noussair Mazraoui

Injury: Back

Another player who suffered a setback while away on international duty. He had to be withdrawn during Morocco's win over Lesotho and was absent for the weekend's Premier League meeting with Spurs.

Potential return date: Unknown

Matthijs De Ligt

Injury: Back

The defender has yet to feature for United this season due to injury, but may be nearing a comeback, having travelled with the squad to Spain.

Potential return date: Unknown

Manuel Ugarte

Injury: Knee

The midfielder picked up a severe knee injury while representing Uruguay during the summer's World Cup, and is expected to remain sidelined for at least the remainder of this calendar year.

Potential return date: Summer 2027

Tom Heaton

Injury: Hamstring The shot-stopper picked up a hamstring problem ahead of the start of the campaign.
