According to Manchester Evening News, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has become the latest player added to the injury list. He is ruled out of Portugal's next UEFA Nations League match against Norway. Sesko, Rashford, and Mainoo are also absent from their respective national teams due to injury, while Amad is expected to return to training after the international break.

Bruno Fernandes played nearly 90 minutes earlier this week against Wales but will miss Sunday's match against Norway. Portugal coach Jorge Jesus signaled this situation on Thursday when discussing Fernandes, and the 32-year-old's absence from the squad confirms the decision.

Meanwhile, Sesko has suffered a setback in his calf injury recovery and did not report to the Slovenia national team.

Rashford and Mainoo were selected for England's squad by Tuchel but both Manchester United players withdrew. Rashford appeared to pick up an issue late in Sunday's match against Fulham.

Amad has also been a concern this season, as the Ivorian winger has been unavailable due to an ankle problem. However, he is expected to return to full training during this extended domestic break.

Here is the latest information on Manchester United's injured players and their estimated return dates.

Bruno Fernandes

Unless his injury worsens, Fernandes is unlikely to miss Manchester United matches. Based on reports that he would play for Portugal next week, the situation appears optimistic.

Portugal coach Jorge Jesus said: "Against Wales, we used all available players, but Bruno Fernandes came off with a complicated issue."

"We will see how the situation develops before tomorrow. Experience tells me that not all players recover by the third day, but Norway face the same situation as us. However, players coming off the bench can provide as much assurance as those who may be unavailable, and that was the basis of my decision."

"Fernandes' situation requires care and recovery time. He has just recovered from an injury at Manchester United, and he told me he has been playing with pain over the last three matches, which has affected his performance."

"This is also one reason Bruno was not at his best against Wales. I have spoken with him, and I chose not to risk him in this match, letting him be fully fit for Denmark."

Expected return date: Saturday, October 10, home vs Tottenham.

Sesko

Sesko started in the League Cup loss to Brighton but was absent three days later for the away match against Fulham.

Carrick said: "He felt some pain after that night against Brighton. We are assessing him. Hopefully it is not too serious, but we will have to see."

Expected return date: Saturday, October 10, home vs Tottenham.

Amad was injured early in the season, but according to Carrick, he is close to returning as long as there are no setbacks when he rejoins full training during the international break.

Carrick said: "Amad, hopefully, when we return, he will train with the full group. That is a positive sign."

Expected return date: Late October or early November.

Rashford

Rashford limped off at Craven Cottage and subsequently withdrew from the England squad, suggesting he may have a minor issue but could recover after a few weeks of rest.

Carrick said: "We had to pull him out because he had a slight problem. I'm not sure if he is fully fit."

Expected return date: Saturday, October 10, home vs Tottenham.

Mainoo

Mainoo was also selected for the England squad but, similar to Rashford, he was substituted early against Fulham and subsequently withdrew.

Expected return date: Saturday, October 10, home vs Tottenham.

De Ligt

De Ligt has been out for 10 months, and despite Carrick's positive comments, he will almost certainly return gradually.

Carrick said: "Matthijs is working hard to recover. I don't want to set too strict a timeline for him because of his previous situation."

Expected return date: Unknown.

Ugarte

Ugarte suffered a serious knee injury at the World Cup and is expected to be sidelined for a considerable time.

Expected return date: Unknown.

Heaton

Heaton has a hamstring injury and has not been included in any match squad yet.

Expected return date: Unknown.
