Story summary

Manchester United face a tough challenge against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League with key injuries affecting their lineup. Shaw and Mainoo will miss the match after picking up issues during a recent game, adding to existing absences of Patrick Dorgu and Noussair Mazraoui due to injury. Diogo Dalot is seen as the possible replacement for left-back duties.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are set to face Lille in another Champions League fixture without players Alex Baena and Jonathan David who were sidelined after a training incident. Hincapie's injury looks more serious, potentially ruling him out of future matches. Myles Lewis-Skelly is likely to take his place at left-back. Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres are expected to get starting spots amid these changes.

Both teams have contrasting fortunes in their respective leagues with Atletico Madrid challenging Barcelona for the top spot in La Liga, while Manchester United struggles in the bottom half of England's Premier League table. The match will be a critical test for both sides as they look to build momentum in Europe’s premier club competition.
