Manchester United will be looking for a big response when they return to the field on Thursday but will be without four players for the trip to Omonia Nicosia.
Following on from Sunday's derby defeat at the hands of Manchester City, United have the chance to bounce back in Cyprus as they return to Europa League action ahead of an away day at Everton on Sunday. Erik ten Hag's squad is depleted, however, with Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Donny van de Beek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka all unavailable.
Here is the latest on United's injured stars and when they could return to action.
After beginning to return to his best and forming a strong partnership with Lisandro Martinez, the injury curse has afflicted Varane once again. The Frenchman picked up an injury in the first half of Sunday's 6-3 demolition by City and was receiving treatment as Erling Haaland headed in the second unopposed.
Varane played on until it was 4-0 but was then taken off when the game was all but lost. The injury isn't believed to be serious, but Varane won't be making the trip to Cyprus.
Captain Maguire hasn't started for United since the 4-0 defeat to Brentford but suffered a hamstring strain while playing for England in the 3-3 draw with Germany last week. The centre-back is expected to be on the sidelines for longer than Varane.
It looked as though Van de Beek was nearing a return to action but it appears he has suffered a setback. The midfielder returned to training on Friday ahead of the derby but then wasn't involved at the Etihad. Now Ten Hag admits he doesn't know when he will be fit.
Wan-Bissaka has played just four minutes of football this season with Ten Hag not rating the right-back. He has not been in the squad for the last two matches with an unspecified injury and it's not clear when he will be back.
