Five Manchester United players missed training ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash at Como. Defenders Lisandro Martinez, Ayden Heaven and Luke Shaw, midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and forward Marcus Rashford were all absent. Long-term absentees Patrick Dorgu and Benjamin Sesko were also missing from the squad.
Defender Leny Yoro is suspended for the game following his red card in last week's Champions League defeat at Atletico Madrid. After that loss in Spain, Martinez launched an extraordinary attack on the club's hierarchy but later apologised before starting Sunday's draw at Leeds. The Argentina international was taken off at half-time at Elland Road and missed training on Tuesday morning.
Rashford was an unused substitute in the 1-1 draw at Leeds, while Shaw and Mainoo have both missed the last two matches. Heaven was absent from the Leeds game through illness, adding to the list of concerns for boss Michael Carrick.
United will travel to Milan on Tuesday afternoon, and Carrick is set to give an update on the absent players at his press conference tonight at 6.30pm.
