And Ryan Fraser – who suffered an ankle injury on international duty with Scotland earlier this month – was also involved in yesterday’s session, according to the club.

Speaking after the club’s 4-1 defea at Old Trafford, head coach Bruce said: “Yes, we have a disappointed dressing room, one with a few knocks. Joe Willock, Ciaran Clark, in particular, and Manqy (Manquillo). We’ll have to see how to see how they are. Lets hope they’re OK.”

Bruce – who has also been without Martin Dubravka and Jonjo Shelvey – will give an injury update this morning ahead of the Leeds game.
