Erik ten Hag has provided an update on the the three players that were not available for the game against Arsenal on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium.
Ten Hag told reporters ahead of United’s semi-final clash with Nottingham Forest that Anthony Martial, Diogo Dalot and Jadon Sancho will not be available for the game against Steve Cooper’s side.
“The players who were not available for the Arsenal game – Dalot, Martial, Sancho,” confirmed the United manager. “Are also not available for tomorrow” [via Man Utd].
Martial missed the game against Arsenal on Sunday after he was forced off during the game against Manchester City at half-time and Dalot has been out of action since suffering a injury during the Carabao Cup quarter-final clash against Charlton Athletic two weeks ago.

The news on Sancho does not come as a surprise because he is just returned to first-team training after successfully completing his individual programme and ten Hag is taking the right steps to ensure that his integration into the matchday squad is a smooth one because it is important that Sancho is not rushed back.
The game between Forest and United kicks off at 8pm UK time on tomorrow evening and for those in the UK, the game will be shown on Sky Sports.
