Despite their 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest, Manchester United are facing a significant injury crisis, adding to the pressure of the match against Sevilla. Meanwhile, the Spanish club secured a victory over the weekend but are still languishing at mid-table in LaLiga, making this match a potentially defining moment for their campaign. The winner of this quarter-final tie will face either Juventus or Sporting in the semi-finals.

Injury/Suspension List:

Gonzalo Montiel will be unavailable for the Spanish side as he received a yellow card in the first leg at Old Trafford. Pape Gueye is also ineligible, but the team has no injury concerns after their win against Valencia last weekend. The La Liga side are expected to start with a similar lineup to the first leg, with En-Nesyri likely to replace Lamela as the centre-forward.

Meanwhile, Ten Hag’s men will miss Bruno Fernandes due to his suspension from the first leg. Donny van de Beek, Alejandro Garnacho, Tom Heaton, Lisandro Martinez, and Raphael Varane are all out with injuries.

Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, and Marcel Sabitzer – all have returned to training and have traveled with the team to Spain. Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire are expected to continue in defence, with Fred ing Casemiro and Christian Eriksen in midfield.
