Man Utd missing six players for Atletico Madrid clash after double injury blow
Manchester United will be without half a dozen players for their Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid. While their opponents boast a fully fit squad, Michael Carrick continues to grapple with multiple absentees. Amad made his comeback against Tottenham, Matthijs de Ligt has made the journey to the Spanish capital, and Tom Heaton is back in training. However, their availability has been offset by fresh fitness concerns. Luke Shaw was withdrawn in the sixth minute of second half stoppage time during the Spurs encounter. Kobbie Mainoo saw out the full match but has since joined his England colleague on the treatment table after missing Monday morning's training session.
