A team news update for Bournemouth has been delivered by Gary O'Neil ahead of tomorrow's Premier League matchup with Manchester United.
After undergoing shin surgery, Antoine Semenyo is out for the remainder of the games.
Hamad Traore will also be unavailable despite practicing all week in the lead-up to the game since it seems like the appearance is too soon.
In the loss to Crystal Palace last week, Jefferson Lerma, the key midfielder for the Cherries, broke his nose after being struck in the face by Joachim Anderson. To guarantee he can safely enter the field for tomorrow's 3pm start, he will be provided with a face mask.
Marcus Rashford's status for the Red Devils is uncertain right now. Erik ten Hag will be closely monitoring his top scorer to decide his availability after he missed the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers due to injury but returned to training in recent days before contracting an illness.
United has three more Premier League games left to play, including home matches against Chelsea and Fulham.
Manchester United must win two of the last three games to guarantee Champions League participation, thus an away victory here will ease the burden.
Although Bournemouth lost to United at Old Trafford earlier in the year and is already safe from relegation, they did defeat Liverpool at home just a few months ago.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has shown this season that he will not make many changes if they are not necessary.
With a week off in between games, we don't anticipate him to completely dismantle the team that defeated Wolves the previous week and start making adjustments.
The center-back pairing of Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof will likely remain, and David de Gea will start in goal.
Luke Shaw is now available to play left-back, and we do expect one change on the right, with Diogo Dalot being reinserted in place of Aaron Wan-Bissaka who might be saved for the Thursday match against Chelsea because Ten Hag has often rotated the duo.
With Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Bruno Fernandes all starting, United's midfield should choose itself. Despite the fact that Scott McTominay has come back and is available, Marcel Sabitzer is out with an injury.
In relation to returns, Marcus Rashford's availability had been anticipated. However, due to illness, he will only play a supporting role. As a result, it is anticipated that Alejandro Garnacho will be utilized as a replacement and Jadon Sancho continuing on the left.
In addition to Anthony Martial, who will start up front and is hoping to build on his goal from the previous week, Antony should start on the right after being named to the BBC Team of the Week for his performance against Wolves.
