Jadon Sancho set to return to Manchester United squad vs Nottingham Forest

Manchester United are set to welcome Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial back to the matchday squad for Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Nottingham Forest.

Sancho hasn't been in a United squad since November and hasn't played since the 1-1 draw with Chelsea on October 22. He has spent some time away from the club since mid-December but returned to group training at Carrington earlier this month.

Martial has had an injury-hit campaign and he hasn't featured since being withdrawn at half-time in the Manchester derby earlier this month, having started that game despite carrying a knock.

But United will be without Scott McTominay for the Old Trafford fixture against Forest, with the Scot also a doubt to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend.

"We have some issues,” Ten Hag told MUTV. “I think tomorrow that Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho will return in the game squad, but Scott McTominay will still be absent.

“I think also the next game [against Crystal Palace] he will be absent. We have to see how that process will go. And for the rest, I think everyone is fit.”

United are battling injuries at the moment, with Christian Eriksen likely to be absent for three months after an ankle injury picked up following a tackle by Andy Carroll in the FA Cup win against Reading at the weekend. Fellow midfielder Donny van de Beek is already out for the season.
