Manchester United have just three fit senior defenders and face a headache on the eve of the Community Shield with Erik ten Hag revealing there are question marks over four key players.
United are already without £59million summer signing Leny Yoro, with the young centre back sidelined for three months after surgery on a foot problem.
Ten Hag oversaw a nightmare injury situation last season with more than 60 separate cases and now, as he prepares his players to take on Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday, four defenders have question marks over their fitness.
