MOURINHO GIVES AN UPDATE ON BAILLY FITNESS



Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has provided an update on the fitness of Eric Bailly.

In Friday's pre-match press conference Mourinho previewed our first trip to Huddersfield in 46 years, and he was also asked a string of questions surrounding the Reds' current injury situation.




The boss was pleased to announce that
Marcus Rashford would be available for Saturday's Premier League clash at the John Smith's Stadium despite picking up a knock in the 1-0 Champions League win over Benfica on Wednesday.

And with regards to Bailly, Mourinho says he hopes the Ivorian will be available for selection next week, when United travel to Swansea in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, before hosting Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday.
"I expect Eric Bailly to be back next week," he told reporters in his pre-Huddersfield media briefing.

The Portuguese manager also gave an update on Zlatan Ibrahimovic's recovery , saying he has a "feeling" the Swedish striker could return to action before the end of 2017.

Jose: Fellaini was amazing

Jose Mourinho heaped praise on the "amazing" Marouane Fellaini for his determination and courage to play for Manchester United in Sunday's big match at Chelsea, despite not being fully fit. The midfielder had not featured for the Reds since the victory over Crystal Palace at the end of September, after picking up an injury while on international duty for Belgium. Mourinho revealed that Fellaini only returned to full training on Saturday and was named on the bench for Sunday's defeat at Chelsea.
