Team news for Bournemouth match

Our final game before a 24-day gap in first-team action kicks off at 20:00 GMT on Friday evening, against a Cherries side on the longest current unbeaten run in the division (10 games).

Noussair Mazraoui missed training at Carrington on Wednesday, while Lisandro Martinez remained absent too.

Mason Mount is available again but unlikely to start, after being an unused substitute in Sunday's splendid 3-1 win over Aston Villa.

Mazraoui felt under the weather, while Martinez has been ruled out of the south-coast encounter, but should be okay for the Leeds contest on Monday 13 April.

Matthijs de Ligt and Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu are currently also unavailable due to injury.

"It's [a] similar [situation] really [with De Ligt] and frustrating for Matta," Carrick said at his pre-match press conference at Carrington.

"He's obviously trying to work to get back but it's just the back issue, really, that's proving difficult. We'll keep working as hard as we can, to get him back as quickly as we can.

"[Lisandro is] closer, a lot closer. He's getting there, so after this one. I think he'll be alright. [Dorgu] is a bit further down the line but [Mazraoui] is just ill. He just wasn't feeling too good today."

BOURNEMOUTH'S TEAM NEWS

The hosts were without Tyler Adams for the 0-0 draw at Burnley last time out, although his absence was said to be a precaution.

"I cannot tell you if he's going to be available or not [for Friday]," said Cherries boss Andoni Iraola. "I think it's going to be difficult."

Alex Jimenez started on the bench at Turf Moor, with Adam Smith drafted into the XI at right-back, while winger Ben Gannon-Doak was fit enough to be among the substitutes after a lengthy lay-off.

Julio Soler, Lewis Cook and Justin Kluivert have been sidelined due to injury.
