Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still waiting to clarify the quarantine status of goalkeeper David De Gea before deciding the goalkeeper is called up to face West Ham United.
De Gea missed Manchester United's last three matches upon his return from Spain to attend the birth of his first son.
The 30-year-old player is currently undergoing independent isolation upon returning to Manchester from Spain, in accordance with British government health regulations.
If he tests negative for COVID-19 after five days of quarantine, he will be allowed to join the training. That means he could be demoted against West Ham at Old Trafford on Sunday this week.

"He's back in Manchester," said Solskjaer, who entrusted Dean Henderson as United's suitcase in his last three games.
"He is in independent isolation. I really don't know when he will be back, so I'm not really sure if he comes back Monday or Tuesday. "
"I think the rule is he has to stay at home. He didn't train with us, "said Solksjaer on the ESPN website.
