Manchester United could be without key player Christian Eriksen for Wednesday's meeting with Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.
The two sides will face off in the second leg (kick-off 8pm) of the EFL Cup semi-final for a place in the Wembley decider next month. The Red Devils hold a 3-0 lead from the first leg.
The club has revealed that Eriksen is a "doubt" for the match, however. The Danish international suffered an ankle injury following a late challenge from Andy Carroll in the FA Cup fourth round home tie against Reading at the weekend.

The playmaker was seen walking on crutches as he left the stadium, raising fears that the injury could be serious. Erik ten Hag is expected to give an update on his condition in his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
Eriksen is an integral component of Ten Hag's team, having started the vast majority of games since joining Man United in the summer as a free agent. Meanwhile, Scott McTominay and Luke Shaw are also doubts for the Forest clash, having missed the win over the Royals on Saturday.
Diogo Dalot and Anthony Martial are out of action through injury, while Donny van de Beek is out for the season after undergoing knee surgery. Jadon Sancho is working towards a comeback after spending three months on the sidelines.
With a commanding lead in the tie United are likely to field a rotated XI. Harry Maguire, who was suspended for the first leg, will be available for selection this time.
As for Forest, Morgan Gibbs-White has been ruled out with an ankle injury he suffered against United. Taiwo Awoniyi (groin), Giulian Biancone (knee) and Cheikhou Kouyate (thigh) are still out with long-term injuries, while Jack Colback and Ryan Yates have been battling illness.
Chris Wood is cup-tied after his move from Newcastle United, while Dean Henderson (thigh) is sidelined. The goalkeeper is ineligible to play in this game anyway as he is on loan from United.
