Out with a hamstring injury, Swedish winger Dejan Kulusevski has not played since the end of September but Conte did not rule the possibility of him playing some part in tonight’s game. “We have to go day by day with him and the medical department are working a lot to try to recover him, but we don’t know for the game against United,” he said.
The absence of Richarlison and in all likelihood, Kulusevski, could mean starts for Lucas Moura, Bryan Gil or Yves Bissouma. With Emerson Royal serving the third and final match of his ban, Matt Doherty is expected to start again, but Japhet Tanganga remains out.Photograph: Paul Childs/Action Images/ReutersScott McTominay is available for selection after serving a one-match ban on the Naughty Step but Anthony Martial has been ruled out with a back injury.
