Zorya will be without Eduard Sobol who has been suspended after picking up a red card against Fenerbahce in their last group match of this tournament. He could be replaced by Grygory Yarmash or Artem Sukhotsky. Captain Mykyta Kamenyuka is also expected to miss this match.
Mourinho, on the other hand, is in a selection crisis considering that this men face Spurs in the Premier League this coming weekend. Without further ado, here is the official travelling squad for the Ukraine match:
De Gea, Romero, Johnstone; Fosu-Mensah, Jones, Bailly, Rojo, Blind, Young; Fellaini, Herrera, Pogba, Lingard, Mata, Mkhitaryan; Martial, Rashford, Rooney, Ibrahimovic.

A draw for the visitors would be just enough to push them to the next phase of the competition but a win could see them top of the group if Fenerbahce drop points. With Zorya guaranteed of finishing fourth, they have nothing to lose here.

Feyenoord vs Fenerbahce
Meanwhile, Dutch side Feyenoord face their Turkish counterparts Fenerbahce in the other match of Group A. Fenerbahce are the group leaders and need maximum points to maintain their lead at the top, and proceed to the next stage.

Failure to collect maximum points here could jeopardize Fenerbahce’s chance of finishing top of the group, hence facing a more difficult opponent in the knockouts. These two sides have faced each other thrice in their history – they first met in 2002 in the Champions League when the Turkish side won both legs.
In this season’s Europa league, Fenerbahce also won the first leg in Turkey. But Feyenoord are not yet out of this competition – a win for them and a defeat for Man Utd could see the Pride of the South finish second – a result that will guarantee qualification to the next phase.
