Manchester United are set to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday, with the Old Trafford game kicking off at 14:00 GMT.
Michael Carrick has been asked about his squad ahead of the clash with the Eagles, as the Reds look to stretch our unbeaten league run to 11 matches.
During his pre-match press conference at Carrington, our head coach provided the latest information on the recovery of Mason Mount and Matthijs de Ligt.
“Mason is getting closer really,”
explained Carrick. “He’s on the grass and he’s getting closer, he’s looking to train and be in around it pretty soon.
”He’s getting close. He’s just had to be patient really and he’s a big player so we’re looking after him, making sure he’s ready for a big finish to the season.
“The good news is he’s getting really close.
”Matthijs, he’s had a back issue, which has been a little bit slower to progress really. It’s something we’ve been working through and he’s getting there. He’s in the right direction but, as I said, he’s just a little bit further behind.
“It’s one of those things that’s disappointing but it’s just a part of football unfortunately, so we’ll get him back when we can.
”It’s just the nature of the injury and the issue in the back. It’s a difficult one to pin down, especially time-wise. He’s definitely improving, so that’s a good thing and we’re just working towards that really. There’s not much more I can give at this stage.“
Lisandro Martinez missed the 1-0 win at Everton, with Leny Yoro lining up alongside Harry Maguire and helping keep a clean sheet.
Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu remains sidelined after being injured at Arsenal.
Benjamin Sesko continued to promote his claims for a start with the only goal at Hill Dickinson Stadium and is pushing to be rewarded with a first incluson in the XI, in the league, since scoring twice at Burnley, during Darren Fletcher's spell in caretaker charge.

Oliver Glasner's side picked up a welcome win over Zrinjski Mostar on Thursday to progress in the UEFA Conference League, to follow up another home victory, against Wolves in the league, last weekend.
