Aaron Wan-Bissaka - Ban reduced, eligible Wednesday Wan-Bissaka's two-game Champions League suspension has been reduced to just one match which means he will be available against Atalanta on Wednesday.
Impact Wan-Bissaka -- who was sent off with a straight red card against Young Boys on Sept. 14 -- has already served his reduced ban by missing the club's Sept. 29 matchup with Villarreal. Considering the right-back has started all eight of his appearances for the club across both domestic and European competition, he figures to be a lock for the starting XI both in EPL against Leicester City on Saturday and versus Atalanta.

Harry Maguire - Begins pitch work Friday Maguire (calf) started individual training Friday but won't be available against Leicester City on Saturday. Manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer told reporters, "Harry was on the grass th...
Impact While Maguire won't be in the squad versus Leicester, his resumption of training activities is certainly a step in the right direction. A mid-week Champions League clash with Atalanta on Wednesday might also come too soon for the defender but, if he can start training with the first team full time, perhaps he'll avoid missing any more EPL contests.

Marcus Rashford - Will be in squad Saturday Rashford (shoulder) will be in the squad for Saturday's match against Leicester, according to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. "If he's going to start or not, I can't tell you now bec...
Impact It's hard to see Rashford starting immediately following his time off, but it wouldn't be surprising given his work rate. The question is how he'll fit in the squad and who will lose their position. Right now, it seems like Mason Greenwood could lose starts, but also Paul Pogba could move back to a more defensive role.

Edinson Cavani - Out after international duty Cavani is returning late from the national team and will miss Saturday's match against Leicester, according to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Impact Cavani started Thursday night, so he won't be risked less than 48 hours later, especially since he's not a regular in the squad. It's likely he'll be available again for the midweek Champions League match, though starts may be hard to come by with Cristiano Ronaldo healthy.

Anthony Martial - Competes with France over break Martial (knock) stayed on the bench for both of France's matches in the UEFA Nations League.
Impact Martial apparently suffered a knock in Man United's last match, but it looks like he's in the clear after staying with France the last week. He scored just before the break, his second start of the season, though he failed to come off the bench in the prior three contests. The return of Marcus Rashford also adds a problem to Martial's playing time.

Amad Traore - Working way back to fitness Diallo (thigh) continues to train alone over the international break.
Impact Diallo was given a six-week timeline about six weeks ago, so he should be inching closer to a return to full training. Even then, most of the forwards are healthy, so he's not expected to see much pitch time if any for the time being.
OCTOBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Harry Maguire - Yet to train with team Maguire (calf) has yet to train with the team, but he's been progressing over the international break.
Impact The prospects don't look good on Maguire being available Saturday against Leicester unless he magically gets better in the next couple days and returns to full training. Given that he's been out for a couple weeks now, he'll need a few days of full training to get back his fitness, meaning a return for the Oct. 20 UCL contest may not be possible, either.
