Marcel Sabitzer is ruled out, after it was announced that his knee injury would see him miss the remainder of the campaign.

In training on Wednesday, both Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay returned after their respective recent lay-offs.

Raphael Varane, who started Saturday's victory over Wolves and was substituted late on as a precaution, was also out on the grass with the rest of the Reds' squad.

Donny van de Beek and Lisandro Martinez continue to work towards pre-season comebacks from their respective injuries.

For the hosts, Antoine Semenyo, Ryan Fredericks, Hamed Traore, Junior Stanislas and Marcus Tavernier have been all sidelined of late. O'Neil has a clean bill of health otherwise.
