Starting in midfield
Mainoo (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Chelsea.
Analysis: Mainoo passed the testing ahead of the contest that had been set to determine his availability, with the positive trend that had emerged following his absence last match proving enough for the coaching staff to hand him a starting role. The midfielder has been a fixture in the lineup ever since Michael Carrick took over as manager, and his return to full fitness slots him straight back into his natural role at the heart of the team.
Questionable for Chelsea match
Mainoo (undisclosed) is a late call for Saturday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Michael Carrick. "Kobbie, [is doing] little bits, yeah, we're working towards it. He's done little bits, so there's a decision to be made there."
Analysis: Mainoo missed the last match with an undisclosed injury but is trending in the right direction for Saturday, as the midfielder is now set to be a late call. That said, he will likely face some testing ahead of the contest, with that deciding if he will be an option or not. He has been a starter ever since Carrick took the role as manager, looking to return to that role once he is fit enough for 90 minutes.
