Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has revealed that England winger Jadon Sancho is a doubt for the clash against Reading on Saturday.
Over 3,000 Royals are making the trip to Old Tafford for the FA Cup clash, with Paul Ince making a return to a place he called home for six years.
In stark differences in form, the Red Devils have lost one of their last five, while Reading have won just once in the last five.
Speaking on team news ahead of their Carabao Cup semi-final tonight against Nottingham Forest, the former Ajax chief admitted that despite both Sancho and Axel Tuanzebe returning to training, they still have some work to do on the training ground before resuming matches.
"They are not available yet for games but they are progressing.
"Definitely, Axel, it was a long time that he was not available for matches or for training. Individual rehab was really hard for him. Then, you can understand, it takes time; back in training as well, and in team training, then you have to build up. So that will take weeks."
England winger Sancho, who was involved in Euro 2020 but not the 2022 World Cup, is still just 22 after impressing with German giants Borussia Dortmund.
