Manchester United injury update: Amad Diallo, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw latest news and return dates

Amad Diallo picked up a muscular issue at Chelsea but may return for Tuesday's Roma match; Rashford and Shaw remain sidelined but closing in on comebacks.

Manchester United's injury situation showed mixed signs after their 2-0 defeat at Chelsea. Kobbie Mainoo returned from a weeks-long muscular problem, coming off the bench in the second half, though he could not prevent the loss after Lisandro Martinez's red card.

Amad Diallo started at Stamford Bridge but was forced off shortly before full-time with what appeared to be a muscular issue. Manager Carrick offered no update at full-time, suggesting it is not serious, with a potential return for Tuesday's Champions League match against Roma.

Marcus Rashford remains absent with a hip issue since early October but has returned to team training and is closing in on a comeback. Luke Shaw continues his recovery from a knock sustained against Tottenham earlier this month and may be approaching a return. Benjamin Sesko faces months out after reaggravating a shin injury, with a January return pencilled in. Patrick Dorgu is sidelined with a hamstring injury suffered on international duty, while Manuel Ugarte is expected to miss most or all of the 2026/27 season after knee ligament surgery.
