Michael Carrick gave an update on Kobbie Mainoo and Benjamin Sesko before Manchester United's trip to Chelsea. Mainoo could be available to face Chelsea on Saturday, while Sesko looks set to be out for a longer period.
Mainoo close to a return
Manchester United have been without Mainoo for the last four games after a muscle injury.
Carrick said: "Good news, Kobbie done a little bit of training yesterday, so he’s back in and around the group, so that’s obviously a positive."
Sesko facing more time out
Manchester United have had no Sesko for the last six games, with the forward struggling with his shin.
Carrick said: "Yeah, unfortunately Ben looks like he’s going to be out for a period of time. We’re still not clear of exactly how long, but it’s going to be for a longer period of time."
Healing process still ongoing
Carrick said: "It was the process, as I said to you before, we had to go through the process, a bit of a healing process for the injury to see how it would react and what direction to go with that. Even now we’re still working through it."
Carrick said: "But it’s unfortunately, obviously first and foremost, for Ben, for the kind of period that he’s had, and tried to get through it and going through this again, and for us to not have him available is obviously a blow, but we’ll try and get back, get him back as quick as we can."
Results without the pair
The Red Devils have won none of the games the pair have been missing for.
