Additionally, Erik ten Hag’s team faced a 3-2 defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday, leaving them at the bottom of Group A with no points.

Shaw remains sidelined with a muscular injury sustained earlier this season, and the English international is not expected to return until the following month.
Tyrell Malacia
The backup left-back, is also unavailable due to a muscular issue, and he is not expected to return until next month.
Lisandro Martinez
He initially suffered a foot injury in April, recently underwent a second operation and will be out of action for the next two to three months.
Amad Diallo
continues to be sidelined with a knee injury he picked up during pre-season, and it is likely to be another six weeks before he is available for selection.
Kobbie Mainoo
He considered a major doubt for the upcoming match against Brentford due to an ankle problem he sustained during pre-season. He did, however, train before the Galatasaray match and has an outside chance of making it back into the squad for this game.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Another defender, is currently unavailable due to a muscular problem, and he is not expected to return until November.
Sergio Reguilon
Sergio is also considered a major doubt for the Brentford match due to a hamstring issue, although there is a possibility he could be included in the squad.
In terms of suspensions, Jadon Sancho continues to train separately from the first team following a high-profile falling-out with Ten Hag, and he will once again be unavailable for selection.
