Manchester United beat Leicester City 3-0 in the Premier League on Sunday but it came at a cost as young defender Ayden Heaven was taken off on a stretcher early in the second half.

Heaven was involved in a tangle with Leicester forward Patson Daka and was clearly in a lot of pain as he went down. Ruben Amorim is already without senior centre-backs Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Jonny Evans, though the international break should allow some players time to recover and be in contention for a return.

United's next game sees them face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Here's a look at the injury latest and the players who could be fit for the clash with Forest:

Altay Bayindir

Injury: unknown

Ahead of the draw with Everton on February 22, Amorim said Bayindir was "making a recovery". He has not issued an update on him since and he has not been spotted in training.

Possible return date: unknown.

Tom Heaton

Injury: unknown

Heaton has also been absent recently. Speaking last month, Amorim said: "Tom is making a recovery. Again, I don't have a day, but they [Heaton and Bayindir] are recovering."

Possible return date: unknown.

Harry Maguire

Injury: unknown

Maguire was taken off ahead of extra-time in the FA Cup clash with Fulham on March 2. Speaking after the win over Sociedad last week, Amorim said: "Harry Maguire we tried not to risk, we will see for Sunday."

Possible return date: April 1 (Nottingham Forest A)

Leny Yoro

Injury: unknown

Yoro was forced off at half-time against Arsenal after requiring treatment during the first half. Amorim confirmed Yoro would miss the games against Sociedad and Leicester but is hopeful he could return for the clash with Forest.

"No, no [Yoro's absence] is not long-term," he said. "Leny cannot play this game (vs Sociedad) and the other game (vs Leicester)."

Possible return date: April 1 (Nottingham Forest A).

Lisandro Martinez

Injury: anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)

Martinez ruptured his ACL in United's 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on February 2. He underwent surgery last month. United have not put a timeframe on how long he will be out for, but he will not play again this season.

Possible return date: August.

Jonny Evans

Injury: muscle

Evans was last in the matchday squad when United lost 2-0 to Wolves on Boxing Day. He last made an appearance when United lost 4-3 to Spurs in the Carabao Cup on December 19.

Possible return date: unknown.

Ayden Heaven

Injury: unknown

Heaven was involved in a tangle with Leicester forward Patson Daka early in the second half and required extensive attention from United and Leicester medical personnel before he was carried off on a stretcher.

Amorim said Heaven was unable to speak after he suffered the potentially serious injury and an update has yet to be given.

Possible return date: unknown.

Luke Shaw

Injury: muscle

Shaw has been absent since the beginning of December. His recovery from his latest muscle issue was going well until he suffered a setback a few weeks ago. He is continuing to work on an individual fitness programme but it remains to be seen when he will next be available for selection.

Possible return date: unknown.

Kobbie Mainoo

Injury: unknown

Mainoo suffered an unspecified injury ahead of United's 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur and Amorim said he expected to be without the midfielder for "weeks". He could be back for the clash with Nottingham Forest on April 1.

Possible return date: April 1 (Nottingham Forest A).

Amad

Injury: ankle

United lost Amad to an ankle injury ahead of the defeat at Tottenham and Amorim admitted he expected to be without him for the rest of the season.

However, speaking after last week's draw with Sociedad, Amorim said: "Even Amad, we will see in the end of the last month. I don't want to say anything but I have the hope to have Amad before the end of the season."

Possible return date: May.
