Harry Maguire
Maguire was seen limping at the end of the first half against Villa and needed help to get off the pitch from the physios.
The centre-back was replaced by Matthijs de Ligt with Ten Hag unsure on how serious the injury was.
“We had to take them off at half-time,” the United boss said. “Tomorrow we have to see what is the diagnosis on it."
"We have to assess this. I can’t tell you now what the issue is. I know what the issue is but [I cannot say now] how good or bad it is. We have to see assess this tomorrow [Monday] and then we will bring you news."
Potential return date : Unknown
Noussair Mazraoui
Mazraoui was a surprise withdrawal at half-time along with Maguire at Villa.
The full-back has been named in Morocco’s squad for two matches against Central African Republic over the next ten days, but a decision will have to be made on whether he is fit enough to join up with his international team-mates.

Luke Shaw
Shaw is still yet to feature for United this season after featuring for England at Euro 2024.
But Ten Hag revealed last week that the left-back could return after the international break.
“We hope Luke can return after the international break quickly,” he said. “I don't know if it's the first game, we're hoping for [it], but I can't, in this moment, tell this with 100% security.
“But, yeah, from now on, we have two-and-a-half weeks to work to that point. And, shortly after, he'll be there.”
Potential return date : Saturday October 19 vs Brentford
Mason Mount
Mount has missed United’s last two matches after being forced off during the 3-0 defeat to Spurs following a clash of heads with Radu Dragusin.
Ten Hag revealed the midfielder had picked up another injury problem in addition to his head issue.
“He had a head injury and picked up a knock, so they are the two reasons why he's not available for tomorrow,” Ten Hag said before United’s 3-3 draw with Porto.

Leny Yoro
Summer signing Yoro is yet to make his debut for United after requiring surgery on a foot injury he suffered in pre-season.
The 18-year-old is expected to return towards the end of November, with Ten Hag saying last month: “Yes, he is doing very well.
“It is very pleasing that his rehab is going in the right direction, and I expect him soon, but what I mean by soon is that he is now in the right planning process.
“He is in the right spot, and he will return as soon as possible into the squad and then the team training.”
Potential return date : November 2024
Tyrell Malacia
Malacia has not played for United for over a year but is closing in on a comeback.
Last week Ten Hag said: “Tyrell is making good progress on the pitch but has to make the step to full team training.”
