Shaw, Evans, Lindelof - Man United injury news and return dates ahead of Viktoria Plzen clash
All the very latest on the Manchester United injury front ahead of Thursday's clash with Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League
Manchester United will look to make it three consecutive Europa League wins when they face Viktoria Plzen on Thursday evening.
Ruben Amorim has experienced a mixed start to his time at Old Trafford. The United head coach has two wins, one draw and two defeats from his opening five games at the helm, and Thursday's clash with Viktoria Plzen represents the perfect opportunity to get back to winning ways after back-to-back Premier League defeats.
The United boss is due to give an injury update on Wednesday evening, but here's a look at the injury situation as we know it ahead of Amorim's press conference.

Jonny Evans
Injury: Unknown
Evans has been missing from United's last four matchday squads with an unspecified injury issue. He started the opening game of the Amorim era away at Ipswich Town but has not pulled on a United shirt since.
Amorim confirmed prior to the clash with Forest that the veteran centre-back was "still not training".
Possible return date: Unknown.
Victor Lindelof
Injury: Groin
Lindelof was forced off injured during Sweden's 2-1 win over Slovakia in last month's international break. The defender was withdrawn with just 26 minutes on the clock, requiring support from the Sweden medical staff.
Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson said: "I met him before he left the hotel. He was very disappointed. Now it's about him getting healthy."
Having played no part in any of Amorim's first five games at the helm, Lindelof is edging closer towards a return. Speaking at Friday's pre-Forest press conference, Amorim said: "Victor has returned to training but isn't available for tomorrow, maybe in the next game he will be available."
Possible return date: December 12 (Viktoria Plzen).
Luke Shaw
Injury: Hamstring
After overcoming a muscle injury that forced him to miss the start of the season, Shaw has now suffered a hamstring problem. He shared the news on his Instagram account last week.
"I understand there is going to be people frustrated, angry, disappointed and I understand all of that," he wrote. "There is no one feeling that more than me at this moment in time.
"But what I can promise is I will do everything I can to come back better soon to help this club achieve its ambitions this season. Thank you to everyone for the support. It really doesn't go unnoticed and I really do appreciate it."
Possible return date: Unknown.
Toby Collyer
Injury: Unknown.
Former United manager Erik ten Hag confirmed Collyer had suffered an injury ahead of the Reds' 2-1 win over Brentford on October 19, but stopped short of revealing any details.
The Manchester Evening News reported in early November that he was expected to be sidelined for around a month, meaning he could soon be back in contention. His injury is not thought to be serious.
Possible return date: Unknown.
