Casemiro has been cleared to play on Saturday and after completing a full week of training, Erik ten Hag is considering playing him from the start. Martial, though, is not available, having previously made his comeback against Liverpool from the hamstring injury he suffered in pre-season.
“Casemiro is fit,” Ten Hag told a press conference. “He did all the training sessions, he trained individually and the last days with the team.”
On Martial, he added: “He came out with a problem in his Achilles, out of the game. We have to wait. I cannot tell you the prognosis. I hope he will be available for the next game.”
The 30-year-old has returned to Salernitana, but he has been starved of game time, with reports stating that the club is willing to let him go.
