Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has been passed fit for Sunday’s Premier League clash against Leicester City, while Mason Mount is on the bench for the 20-time English champions at the King Power Stadium.
Onana’s involvement had been in huge doubt, with the Cameroonian suffering with an illness ahead of the league fixture.
Dermot Mee was on standby to make his debut for the Red Devils, but Onana has passed a late fitness test, with the former Inter Milan goalkeeper lining up between the sticks for Ruben Amorim‘s side.
Mount, meanwhile, is back on the bench, with the England international recovering from the muscular problem which has kept him on the sidelines since the middle of December.
Amorim has made three changes to the team that started against Real Sociedad in the Europa League on Thursday night, with Victor Lindelof, Manuel Ugarte and Christian Eriksen being introduced.
There is no Patrick Dorgu, with the Denmark international finishing his domestic suspension on Sunday night.

Onana starts, Mount on the bench for Man United at Leicester
Meanwhile, Casemiro and Joshua Zirkzee have both dropped down to the bench for the English giants.
Man United still have substantial injury problems, but their situation is expected to improve during the March international break, with the team back in action against Nottingham Forest on April 1.
The Red Devils are currently 15th in the Premier League table, but a draw would be enough for them to move above Everton and Tottenham Hotspur into 13th spot ahead of the international break.
Leicester, meanwhile, are 19th in the division, nine points behind 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Foxes head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy has named an unchanged side from the one that took to the field for the first whistle against Chelsea last time out, with Patson Daka and Jamie Vardy both in the starting side.
Leicester will continue in a back three on Sunday evening, including the experienced Conor Coady.
Leicester starting lineup: Hermansen; Faes, Coady, Thomas; Justin, Soumare, Ndidi, Kristiansen; Daka, Vardy, El Khannouss
Subs: Stolarczyk, Coulibaly, Okoli, Winks, Ayew, De Cordova-Reid, McAteer, Buonanotte, Mavididi
Man United starting lineup: Onana; De Ligt, Lindelof, Heaven; Dalot, Fernandes, Ugarte, Mazraoui; Garnacho, Hojlund, Eriksen
