TEAM NEWS
Lisandro Martinez remains in recovery from a significant knee injury and will not be available for the match against Burnley. However, Noussair Mazraoui is anticipated to return sooner; he hasn’t played for the Reds since the pre-season friendly against Leeds United, but Amorim has indicated that he is close to making a comeback.
Additional updates on the Moroccan and the rest of the squad are expected from the head coach during the pre-match press conference for this game.
Benjamin Sesko made his first start for United during the penalty shootout loss to Grimsby, while Andre Onana took over in goal from Altay Bayindir in the second-round match.
Scott Parker’s team is likely to miss Jordan Beyer, Connor Roberts, and Zeki Amdouni, as none are expected to return to action soon due to their knee injuries. Furthermore, Manuel Benson is also not anticipated to be included in the squad as he continues to work towards full match fitness with Burnley’s Academy.
Like Amorim, Parker may also share more details during his media obligations before the match.
