Diogo is returning to the team. And he is ready.
We have all the other players so we are in a good moment to go to Brentford.

Also, Brazilian midfielder Casemiro is ruled out for a game after receiving a red card in the first half of the win against Chelsea. Argentine defender, Lisandro Martinez continues his recovery from a knee operation and he is yet to play for Manchester United in seven months.
