Antony couldn’t play in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Bournemouth because he was hurt, but he was happy when our cameras caught him training at Carrington on Tuesday.

Evans and McTominay didn’t play in the draw at Bournemouth, but Erik said before the game that McTominay was trying hard to be in the group to play the Cherries.

When he holds his pre-game news conference later this week, the boss might give more information about the health of his team.
Harry Amass, Habeeb Ogunneye, and Ethan Wheatley are all academy players who have been put on matchday squads already this month. On Tuesday, all three were seen working with our senior players.
