00:00Manchester United could be without 11 players when they face Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend.
00:07Ruben Amirim was without Manuel Ugarte and Harry Maguire for the midweek draw with Real Sociedad in the Europa League
00:15and he is unsure if either of them will be available for selection when United host Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
00:24It adds to United's injury woes at a time where so many players are already sidelined.
00:29United of course will also be without Patrick Dorgue for the game against Arsenal.
00:34He is serving the second of a three-match domestic suspension.
00:37It means he was available to play Sociedad in midweek.
00:40He will also be available to feature against them when United play in the second leg at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
00:46But he won't be eligible to play against Arsenal this weekend or against Leicester City in the final game before the international break.
00:54There is some good news though on the injury front and that is that Ahmad Diallo is on course to return to action before the end of the season.
01:02He was initially ruled out for the remainder of the campaign after he suffered ankle ligament damage in training.
01:08But Ruben Amirim says that Ahmad should be available for the final month of the campaign.
01:14Potentially a return against a team such as Brentford or Chelsea in that final month.
01:20And who knows, even potentially a Europa League final as well.
01:24We will look ahead to that one next week after the Arsenal match.
01:28And in terms of the game this weekend, Chido Obi will be eligible to feature against the side that he left last summer to join Manchester United.
01:37We'd still expect him to be on the bench.
01:40He was very good against Fulham in his cameo in the FA Cup tie.
01:44But Ruben Amirim said after the Sociedad draw, look, Hoyland should get a chance again in the next game.
01:51And you'd expect him to start up front against Arsenal.
01:54Chido Obi used from the bench.
01:58Toby Collier, of course, returned from injury in midweek.
02:01Like we said, probably won't see Ugarte or Maguire.
02:05You know, if they were to feature, it would be from the bench.
02:08United only named five outfield players on their substitute bench against Real Sociedad.
02:13It means there could be another slim, reduced squad against Arsenal this weekend.
02:18And the quirk is that United will obviously go into the Arsenal game wanting to win, wanting to get a result against all their traditional rivals.
02:24But the fact of the matter is that game against Real Sociedad next week is so much more important.
02:29Because that is their only chance of qualifying for Europe again next season.
02:33If they're to win that and go on and win the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League.
02:37So round up the team news once again.
02:39United face Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend.
02:41Ugarte and Maguire could both miss out.
02:44Ahmad should be back before the end of the season.
02:46Chido Obi is eligible.
02:48But Patrick Dorgue is suspended once again.
