Manchester United forward Anthony Martial is a doubt for Sunday’s Barclays Premier League home clash with Arsenal, in which goalkeeper David de Gea is expected to make his return to action.

Martial (hamstring) was injured in the warm-up to Thursday’s Europa League last 32 second leg clash with FC Midtjylland - a week on from the same thing happening to De Gea (knee) ahead of the first leg.

It remains to be seen whether two other recent addition to United’s lengthy injury list, defenders Chris Smalling (shoulder) and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson (unspecified), are able to make their comebacks, while the likes of Antonio Valencia (foot) and Adnan Januzaj (hamstring) are nearing readiness.

Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Blind, Smalling, McNair, Rojo, Varela, Riley, Love, Schneiderlin, Herrera, Carrick, Lingard, Depay, A Pereira, Mata, Martial, Rashford.
