Manchester United manager José Mourinho has confirmed that he will have every member of his squad at his disposal for the crunch Manchester Derby tomorrow.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Luke Shaw and Marouane Fellaini were all doubts going into the most anticipated derby clash in years after picking up slight knocks during the international break, but they have all been confirmed as fit and available for Mourinho to pick from for his starting eleven.
The likes Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo and Sergio Romero will also be available for selection, having returned later than most after their international commitments with Ecuador and Argentina over the international break.
In his pre-match press conference, Mourinho said:
Everybody is available. It’s not the same as if we were here all week and working, resting and not travelling, but there are no injuries and everybody has returned safely and on time for at least one training session. Everybody is ready and wants to play of course.
Antonio was able to get one flight direct to Madrid and then to London and Manchester. An easy one. Sergio [Romero] and Marcos [Rojo] went around the globe!
They played in Venezuela and then went to Argentina and then, from there, they came back to Europe but they came back in time for training this morning.
I’m not saying Micki [Mkhitaryan] is ready to play 90 minutes but he is ready to help us. There are no injuries.
