What happened. João Pedro pulled out of the Brazil squad with an injury, while Moises Caicedo has not played since limping off against Brighton and Reece James missed part of training. Xabi Alonso said nobody is ruled out for Friday but a final call will come after the last session.

• João Pedro has three goals and three assists in four Premier League games this season
• Caicedo has been sidelined since limping off against Brighton at the end of August
• James was not pictured in the opening part of Tuesday's training

“Nobody is ruled out for Friday. We will wait until tomorrow to make the final decision.”
