Cristiano Ronaldo will be available for Manchester United's match against Arsenal on Saturday, but bad boy Mason Greenwood is still suspended.
Following the devastating news that his baby son died during childbirth, Ronaldo missed Manchester United's most recent match, which they lost 4-0 to Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Arsenal captain Alexandre Lacazette may be available for Saturday's Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium, which begins at 13:30 p.m. (SA time).
After testing positive for coronavirus, the striker is back in full training, but he may find himself on the bench after his replacement Eddie Nketiah scored a brace in Chelsea's 4-2 triumph.Takehiro Tomiyasu (calf) is nearing a return, while Kieran Tierney (knee) and Thomas Partey (thigh) have been out for a long time.
Raphael Varane is expected to return for Manchester United, who will be without a number of key players at the Emirates Stadium.
Scott McTominay is fit after only being used as an emergency substitute in the 4-0 loss at Liverpool, where Paul Pogba suffered a calf injury that will keep him out for the rest of the season.
The likes of Fred, Edinson Cavani, and Luke Shaw have been ruled out. Mason Greenwood is still on the bench for the club.
Eddie Nketiah justified Mikel Arteta's faith in him with his first two Premier League goals of the season against Chelsea. Arsenal has never lost a game when he has scored (W15, D1). Jadon Sancho, a 22-year-old teammate, has scored his past three goals between the 20th and 25th minute.
Arsenal has only scored once in the first half of their last six home league games.
