The open training session on Wednesday for Man United did not include Anthony Martial, Scott McTominay, Antony and Marcel Sabitzer with the club preparing for their Europa League match against Barcelona on Thursday night at the Camp Nou.
Spirits within the Man United camp are high following their 2-0 win against Leeds over the weekend, making amends for their 2-2 draw with their rivals previously.
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring for the Red Devils in the 80th minute when he headed home from close range before Alejandro Garnacho came off of the bench to secure all three points with a fine solo goal.
Erik ten Hag will know that his team will need to improve for that success if they are to beat Barca this week, though it appears that he will be without several key players for their Round of 32 clash.
As expected, Martial and Antony both missed training in Spain ahead of the match, according to Manchester Evening News.
McTominay also does not appear to have recovered in time for the clash, with the Scotland international not featuring for United since January 22.

Concerningly, Bayern Munich loanee Sabitzer was also not spotted despite playing the full 90 minutes against Leeds.
The 28-year-old is suspended for the first leg of the clash against Barca, however, Lisandro Martinez who is also suspended, participated in the training session.
🚨 NEW:
NO Sabitzer in training this morning, Martinez (also suspended) is training. @TyMarshall_MEN
