What Ten Hag has said?

Speaking about his team’s fitness, United boss Erik ten Hag has said: “We had some problems with illness like Harry Maguire, but he was back on the training pitch today so I’m happy with that. Returning from Rapha Varane and Licha Martinez, they are not there [back at United] but we hope on their comeback [soon].”

In a more general update, he added: “The feeling is good. The players from the World Cup are back, are integrated again and you feel they are excited. [They had] massive impressions there [in Qatar], but now they are back, and you feel their energy. They are looking forward to the restart [of the Premier League].”

What Cooper has said

Forest boss Steve Cooper has issued an update on the fitness of his side, with Wayne Hennessey needing to play instead of Dean Henderson, who is ineligible against his parent club.

“We hope so. He (Hennessey) picked up a kick on his return to training after the World Cup and it ruled him unavailable for the last couple of games, including the Valencia game, but we are hopeful he will be available,” Cooper said.

“Similar for Morgan (Gibbs-White) and Serge (Aurier). We are hopeful they will be available. It is still a little bit inconclusive but we will see in a few days’ time. We knew it was coming that Dean wouldn’t be able to play; it is part of any loan agreement, so it doesn’t come as any surprise. We have more than capable lads that can play in goal for us if Dean doesn’t play.

“Wayne has huge experience, and he brings that every day with his training and his presence around the training ground. And Jordan (Smith) has been here for a long time. Both add value, not just to the goalkeeping department but the culture in general. We are looking forward to the game. Whoever plays, we are going to have to be at our best.”
