Everton are set to take on Manchester United at Old Trafford later this evening.
Ronald Koeman has confirmed to Everton’s official website that both Aaron Lennon and Morgan Schneiderlin will not play against Manchester United this evening.
Everton are set to travel to Old Trafford later today, as they look to bounce back from defeat against Liverpool at the weekend.
The Toffees lost for just the second time in 2017 at Anfield, but a win against United tonight would put them back on track.
Everton can move ahead of Jose Mourinho’s side in the Premier League table, if they are to pick up the three points.
Koeman’s side do have a number of injuries to deal with though, with a number of first-team players currently on the treatment table.
Not only are Everton without Ramiro Funes-Mori and Seamus Coleman for the rest of the season, but Koeman has also confirmed that Schneiderlin and Lennon will miss tonight’s match.
“We will have the same players available as last weekend,” said Koeman. “Morgan is doing really well. I think he can be available for the weekend, but not for tomorrow.
“It is the same for Lennon. He is not in a physical way to be part of the team tomorrow.”
Koeman is expected to make changes to his Everton line-up tonight, after naming a young team at Liverpool.
Matthew Pennington and Dominic Calvert-Lewin look most likely to be replaced by more experienced options.
