UNITED'S TEAM NEWS FOR EFL CUP FINAL
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has ruled Henrikh Mkhitaryan out of the EFL Cup final with Southampton but expects Michael Carrick to be available.
Both players were injured in the Europa League tie at Saint-Etienne on Wednesday with goalscorer Mkhitaryan feeling his hamstring and Carrick being withdrawn in the second half due to a calf problem.
Wayne Rooney has stepped up his comeback in training and will be involved as the Reds take on the Saints at Wembley this Sunday. The skipper scored the winner the last time the club lifted the trophy, against Aston Villa in 2010.
A decision will be taken on the fitness of centre-back Phil Jones on Saturday as he is also closing on a return.
"Michael [Carrick] is available," said the boss. "Clever, experienced. He left the pitch [against Saint-Etienne] in the right moment so Michael is available. Mkhitaryan is out and Jones, let's see and decide tomorrow.
"Wayne's fine, he's training with the team. He was not selected for Saint-Etienne because he was not ready to play but he was ready to have one more important training session and no doubts, no doubts, he is involved in the game."
Ander Herrera is back in the fold after being suspended for the midweek win at Saint-Etienne while Eric Bailly's ban only covers the Europa League, so he will miss the trip to Russia to face FC Rostov, following his red card in France.
