Caleb Okoli – doubt
Caleb Okoli was subbed off in the first half of last weekend’s defeat following a collision with Mads Hermansen during Brentford’s equaliser.
The latest fitness update on Okoli suggested that the Italian would be monitored and further news is expected during the pre-match press conference.
Should he be deemed unavailable, the likes of Jannik Vestergaard and Conor Coady would be expected to start, or a more rogue option, dropping Wilfred Ndidi into the centre-back role, could happen.
Harry Winks – doubt
Saturday’s game came too early for Harry Winks but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him miss out on Tuesday.
During footage of Van Nistelrooy’s first training session in charge, Winks wasn’t spotted in any clips – despite his absence.
Boubakary Soumare has come into form of late and could retain his starting spot. He would almost certainly be partnered by Ndidi or even Oliver Skipp in the middle of the park.

Abdul Fatwau is out injured until the end of the season and is continuing his recovery ahead of his long-awaited return to the side next year.
