Lisandro Martinez and Marcel Sabitzer will be absent for Manchester United tonight as they face Barcelona in a huge Europa League clash.
It’s a blockbuster play-off tie, with two of European football’s heavyweights looking to book their place in the last-16 stage of the competition.
However, Erik ten Hag will have to shuffle his pack for the first leg. Martinez is out with suspension after picking up three yellow cards in the group stage, so Luke Shaw is set to fill in at centre-back again.

Sabitzer is also suspended, having been booked three times for Bayern Munich in the Champions League group stage. Casemiro, currently suspended domestically, is available for European fixtures and should partner Fred in midfield.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is back after illness, and is pushing to replace Diogo Dalot at right-back. Antony, Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay will all miss out again though and have not travelled to Barcelona.
On their availability for the Carabao Cup final later this month, Ten Hag said: “It looks good. They are on the way back. They are on the training ground individually. They are making progress.
“At the end of the week, maybe Scott can make the team, then next week, maybe Antony.”
Wout Weghorst was added to United’s Europa League squad after arriving in January and should lead the line at the Nou Camp, with Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes certain starters behind him.
The other spot is up for grabs, with Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho providing Ten Hag with a selection dilemma.
Predicted Man United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Shaw, Malacia; Casemiro, Fred; Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst
