Long-term absentees Patrick Dorgu and Benjamin Sesko were also missing. Defender Leny Yoro is suspended for the game against the Italian side after his red card in last week's Champions League defeat at Atletico Madrid.
Martinez taken off at Leeds
After the loss in Spain, Martinez made an extraordinary attack on the club's hierarchy but later apologised and started Sunday's draw at Leeds. The Argentina international was taken off at half-time at Elland Road and then missed training on Tuesday morning.
Rashford was an unused substitute in the 1-1 draw, while Shaw and Mainoo have both missed the last two matches. Heaven was absent from the Leeds game through illness.
