Long Road Back for Attacker
Dejan Kulusevski will make the journey to Manchester United on Saturday even though he remains sidelined. The forward has been out for more than 500 days following a knee issue and has only recently returned to training sessions involving an 11 versus 11 setup during the international window. His manager noted the player's resilience as an example for the squad and said a return is approaching though the timeline will be reviewed weekly with medical staff.
Maddison Cleared but Limited
James Maddison is available for selection at Old Trafford after missing several days of work earlier in the week. The midfielder has not started a match in 17 months because of recurring knee problems. The coach stressed that he must complete multiple weeks without issues before he can be considered fully ready for the demands of the league.
Defenders and Trip Context
Pedro Porro will also travel with the team in a support role. The manager said he has been looking forward to the fixture for three weeks and wants the full squad together ahead of the match.
