Ten Hag’s team news for FA Cup semi-final

With the injured Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane also out of action, it would seem that Victor Lindelof and the versatile Luke Shaw are the strongest candidates to play at centre-back on Sunday.

Tyrell Malacia returned to the matchday squad for Thursday night’s game, after initially missing last Sunday’s trip to Forest, and could be an option to play at left-back instead of Shaw. Diogo Dalot would also be considered for that role, having been deployed there in our last two games. 

It remains to be seen whether Anthony Martial is fit to start again, after he was withdrawn from Thursday’s clash in Spain due to an injury. Meanwhile, midfielder Scott McTominay missed the trip altogether, to continue his recovery from a recent injury, and is expected to be out for a few more games.
