Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has ruled Henrikh Mkhitaryan out of the EFL Cup final with Southampton but expects Michael Carrick to be available.
Both players were injured in the Europa League tie at Saint-Etienne on Wednesday with goalscorer Mkhitaryan feeling his hamstring and Carrick being withdrawn in the second half due to a calf problem.
Wayne Rooney has stepped up his comeback in training and will be involved as the Reds take on the Saints at Wembley this Sunday. The skipper scored the winner the last time the club lifted the trophy, against Aston Villa in 2010.
