Manchester United
Just as he was hitting a rich vein of form in England, £72m striker Rasmus Hojlund was cruelly sidelined with a muscular injury, but both Ten Hag and Denmark head coach Kasper Hjulmand have stated that February's Premier League Player of the Month should be back this weekend.
The Red Devils are also optimistic about the fitness of Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, while long-term calf victim Mason Mount has finally returned to training but will be given more time to get back up to speed with his teammates.
While Hojlund is expected to be given the green light, fellow fledgling attacker Omari Forson is more of a doubt, while Anthony Martial (groin), Luke Shaw (muscle), Tyrell Malacia (knee) and Lisandro Martinez (knee) are still recuperating from their severe issues.
On Friday, it was revealed that second-choice goalkeeper Altay Bayindir had also strained a muscle and would miss the quarter-final - not that he would have started anyway - while Jonny Evans is dealing with a niggle.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Lindelof; Mainoo, Casemiro; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
Liverpool
As for Liverpool, Klopp's crop did not come out of Thursday's Sparta slaughter totally unblemished, as first-time goalscorer Clark had to be taken off in the second half with an apparent ankle issue, which the Reds boss admitted he was slightly worried about.
However, Klopp has now eased fears over the 19-year-old's issue and is also confident of being able to call upon Ryan Gravenberch, but Ibrahima Konate (thigh) is losing his race to be fit.
Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Thiago Alcantara (muscle), Diogo Jota (knee), Ben Doak (knee), Joel Matip (knee), Alisson Becker (thigh), Curtis Jones (shin) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee) are still missing for the visitors, but Salah - who became the first Liverpool player to net 20 goals in seven straight seasons on Thursday - came through an unplanned 90 minutes unscathed against Sparta.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Kelleher; Bradley, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Endo, Szoboszlai; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Prediction: Manchester United 1-3 Liverpool
