There is also good news on the bench in terms of returns, with Antony, Christian Eriksen and Mason Mount all in the squad, having recovered from their fitness problems.
Rasmus Hojlund is again given the nod as the centre-forward for the 20-time English champions, while Manuel Ugarte keeps his spot in central midfield alongside Casemiro.
