Marcus Rashford was passed fit to start for Manchester United in the EFL Cup final against Newcastle United.
Rashford had been a doubt for Sunday’s game at Wembley after coming off in the 88th minute of Thursday’s Europa League playoff-round victory against Barcelona with what appeared to be a slight injury concern.
However, the in-form forward, who has scored 24 goals in 37 games this season, was named in a forward line alongside Wout Weghorst and Antony, who came off the bench to score the winner against Barca at Old Trafford.
The Brazilian replaced Jadon Sancho in attack, with the only other change seeing Diogo Dalot come in for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Callum Wilson returned to the starting line-up for Newcastle in place of Alexander Isak, with Loris Karius coming in for the suspended Nick Pope to make his competitive debut for the club.
Bruno Guimaraes was back from suspension, replacing Elliot Anderson in the only other change from last weekend’s 2-0 home defeat to Liverpool, with Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron named either side of Wilson in attack for Eddie Howe’s men.
