Manchester United could welcome a number of injured stars back when they travel to face Southampton in their first match after the international break.
Erik ten Hag only has a handful of injury concerns to worry about at the moment but he will want them all to be resolved as quick as possible ahead of a bumper month which sees them begin both their League Cup and Europa League campaigns.
Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund are both hoping to return in the comings days after they each missed the start of the new Premier League season, while United should also be strengthened by the availability of summer signing Manuel Ugarte.
Here are all the latest injury issues and anticipated return dates ahead of the Premier League trip to face Southampton:
