Mason Mount will return to Stamford Bridge when Man United take on former club Chelsea in the Premier League on Thursday 4 April.
Before the match Erik ten Hag was asked if the Englishman could start after his hero against Brentford. He replied that he was a great footballer but it was important first that he was and kept in shape. Good because he already has three injuries.
Like Licha another injury you want to avoid and we have to do this carefully. The first goal is to keep him strong. He can then benefit and contribute to the team as he did on Saturday when he was heavily impacted.
Given the content of these comments it is unlikely that Mount will be rewarded with a start against the Blues.
He is likely to be on the bench and being used as a substitute by Ten Hag seems set to continue with Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.
