Fellow defender Jonny Evans, who picked up a knock while playing for Northern Ireland, was also involved on Thursday. Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are others who have been out of action due to injury, while Jadon Sancho has been training away from the first team “pending resolution of a squad discipline issue”.
