Louis van Gaal confirmed that neither Anthony Martial nor Wayne Rooney will play in Saturday's match against the "Watford" team. Martial suffered a leg injury in a friendly match against England, while Rooney fell ill. Nevertheless, the "United" coach hopes that both players will be ready for next week's Champions League match against PSV. "We are not yet guaranteed that Martial will play against PSV, but I think he and Rooney will be ready for this match. Illness is not something that would keep Rooney out of the lineup for long," the coach said about the forwards. These players join the currently injured Michael Carrick, Marouane Fellaini, and Antonio Valencia. However, James Wilson has already returned to the lineup. "Valencia underwent surgery before the international break, and Shaw was injured for a long time, so we have five injured players, which is not ideal. Wilson feels good after the international break. He will be able to play, but certainly not for 90 minutes. He needs to get back into the playing rhythm first," Louis van Gaal revealed the situation about the condition of the other players. "Manchester United" return to the "Premier" league after the international break in fourth place on the league table, trailing leaders "Manchester City" and "Arsenal" by just two points.
