EKO HOT BLOG reports that ahead of Manchester United’s UEFA Europa League second-leg tie against Barcelona on Thursday, manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that two players will be available for selection, while another will miss out.

EDITOR’S PICKS:

Speaking at a pre-match press conference on Wednesday, ten Hag confirmed that winger Antony and defender Harry Maguire will be available for selection for the Red Devils, but Anthony Martial will not take part in the game.

Antony has missed Manchester United’s last four games due to a leg injury, while Maguire suffered a knee injury prior to the team’s Premier League victory over Leicester City. However, both players are now fit and ready to take on Barcelona.

“We still have a training session to go, but I expect Maguire and Antony available,” ten Hag said. “Anthony Martial is not available. He is back on the pitch, but we wait for team training.”

Martial has struggled with a hip problem in recent weeks and is not yet fit enough to participate in the game. Manchester United will be hoping to overcome their 2-0 deficit from the first leg and progress to the next round of the Europa League.
