Team News For Rostov Clash

Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney have been ruled out of Manchester United's Europa League Round of 16 second-leg clash with FC Rostov but Zlatan Ibrahimovic is back in the squad.

United approach the Old Trafford encounter with an away goal in the bag following the 1-1 draw last week, and will hope to finish the job against the respected Russian opponents. Martial and Rooney are again sidelined, as they were for the Emirates FA Cup defeat at Chelsea on Monday, with Jose Mourinho revealing he will select his line-up from the same squad, with leading scorer Zlatan being the only addition.

Ibrahimovic is, of course, available for the Europa League action as his suspension only applies to domestic matches, and Ander Herrera can also play for the same reason, despite his red card at Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, Eric Bailly has completed his European ban and will hope to regain a place in United's defence.

"Martial was injured for the Chelsea match," confirmed Mourinho. "He couldn't be selected for the Chelsea match and, if you are injured for the Monday night game, you're injured for the Tuesday morning training session. And if you are injured for the Tuesday morning training session, it's not because of today that you can be able to play on Thursday. So he's out of my mind. I don't think about him, we have the same players we had in the last match plus Ibrahimovic returning for the Europa League.

"Rooney is injured. He had some kick in his knee area, so he can't even come out to the pitch. He stays inside the medical department."

Aleksandr Gatskan and Timofei Kalachev will be missing for FC Rostov following their yellow cards last week, and there is mixed news on the injury front. Soslan Dzhanaev could return in goal but Vladimir Granat is unlikely to be available.

"It's a very important competition for us," added Mourinho. "We always talk about that from the beginning - that's why, in every match since day one, we play with good teams, with strong teams, trying to progress in the competition - which we did in the group phase, which we did in the last 32 and we're going to try tomorrow.

"I think the fans will give us this little bit of extra energy so we believe that, tomorrow, we can cope with the situation and we can fight to be in the quarter-final."
