Champions League Group B

     

• Venue: Arena Khimki
• Date: Wednesday, 21 October
• Kick-off: 19:45 BST

Ashley Young will miss Manchester United's Champions League match at CSKA Moscow on Wednesday because of a calf injury.

The winger did not play in Saturday's 3-0 win over Everton and has not travelled to Russia.
United host Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday, but manager Louis van Gaal has suggested  he will not rest any players against CSKA.
Van Gaal's side are second in Group B on three points.
Left-back Luke Shaw (leg), defender Paddy McNair (liver) and striker James Wilson (illness) have stayed in Manchester.
Goalkeeper Sergio Romero and winger Antonio Valencia, who missed the Everton game following their return from international duty, have travelled with the squad.

Rooney raring to go?

Wayne Rooney has scored eight goals for club and country so far this season

Wayne Rooney scored his first Premier League away goal in 11 months at Everton.
The forward netted a hat-trick in the 4-0 win over Club Brugge in the Champions League qualifying play-off tie in August, but is still waiting for his first group-stage goal.
Rooney was on the losing side against Russia in Moscow in 2007 with England, but a year later won the Champions League in the city when United beat Chelsea on penalties.

   

Man City face tough Champions League test

"I've had mixed emotions in Moscow. I lost here with England and had possibly the greatest moment in my club career," he said.
"That was a special night for Manchester United, a night which myself and the fans will never forget.
"Having had a taste of winning this trophy, it gives you desire and a determination to try and do it again."
Michael Carrick is the only other remaining United player who featured in the 2008 final.
Rooney added: "It's a different group of players, so hopefully myself and Michael Carrick can help, especially the younger players, and give them the experience we gained."

How the group is shaping up

United head into the game looking for their first away win in this season's tournament.
They lost 2-1 at PSV Eindhoven in their opening group game before beating Wolfsburg 2-1 at Old Trafford.
That result moved Van Gaal's side into second place, but all four teams are level on three points.

CSKA strong at home

Seydou Doumbia scored twice in CSKA Moscow's last Champions League game - a 3-2 home win over PSV

CSKA are unbeaten in the Russian Premier League this season and sit five points clear at the top of the table.
Beaten by Wolfsburg in their opening Champions League group game, they then overcame PSV 3-2 at home.
Ivory Coast striker Seydou Doumbia will be CSKA's main threat, having scored seven goals in his past seven matches.
