Casemiro, Martinez, Shaw - Manchester United injury news and return dates for Brentford game

Manchester United have been hit harder than most when it comes to injuries this season. Even the international break did not pass them by without a fresh setback for Erik ten Hag to deal with.

England defender Harry Maguire pulled up at Wembley as The Three Lions were beaten 1-0 by Brazil on Saturday night. The 31-year-old returned to Carrington following that match and will be assessed before the club's Premier League meeting with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium this Saturday night.

However, the centre-back is by no means the only concern for that fixture. Here, we provide our latest round-up from the treatment table at Carrington with possible return dates for nine United players.

Luke Shaw

Injury: Muscular.

Return date: TBC.

What Ten Hag has said: "Was precaution, Luke Shaw, he gave some messages about complaints. We know his history with too many injuries and we couldn't go into the risk. [It was a] very important game, but we can't miss him for six weeks."

Tyrell Malacia

Injury: Knee.

Return date: TBC.

What Ten Hag has said: "Malacia will take some more weeks. Yeah, he had setbacks during his rehab process. It takes too long, it's bad for him. Bad for us. But now, we turned a point and it's positive, he will return soon on the pitch. I don't think then it will take long before he's returning in team training."

Casemiro

Injury: Hamstring.

Return date: TBC.

Casemiro picked up a hamstring injury before the FA Cup thriller with Liverpool which preceded the international break. Speaking at the time, Ten Hag described his absence as a huge miss, but United went on to win that tie 4-3.

Omari Forson

Injury: Unspecified.

Return date: TBC.

What Ten Hag has said: "The rest is the same squad apart from Omari Forson. He has an injury."

Anthony Martial

Injury: Groin.

Return date: TBC.

What Ten Hag has said: "It's not a secret that I wanted a striker extra. Because with the injury of Martial we don't really have back-up there, but it was not possible because we have to match the Financial Fair Play rules. But, yeah, we have to be a little bit creative if it's up to the No.9 position."
