Manchester United boss Michael Carrick has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Ipswich at Old Trafford (kick-off 16:30 BST).
You can hit play above, listen on BBC Sounds or take in the key lines from his news conference:
Carrick confirmed that Diallo is still unavailable for selection. Mason Mount is back training with the group.
He spoke highly of new signing Carlos Baleba: "We're delighted with Carlos. [He has] massive potential. I think it's a really exciting signing for us. I think the quality that he has, the attributes that he has, that offsets a little bit of the balance of the group that we've got."
Baleba has a "little ankle issue," which rules him out of action for a few weeks. "It's no major issue," Carrick added.
Both Baleba and Amad could be available before next month's international break but Carrick was reluctant to put a deadline on their return.
When asked about the plan for highly-rated academy player JJ Gabriel: "JJ is one of the boys. He's obviously got a really big talent. He's trained with us quite a bit. He's getting experience all the time. He's physically adapting to each step that he makes, and just continuing his development."
On fellow academy player Harry Amass, whose future at Old Trafford is uncertain: "I've been really pleased with Harry. I think he had a really good season that didn't finish so good with the injury, but it's been great to have him around pre-season. He's done really well. So, let's see what happens."
On Sunday's match: "The first home game of the season is really one we look forward to, and the supporters coming. I think we had a setback last week, and you want to get back to playing well and winning football matches. It is a tough game, Ipswich obviously had a big result last week as well. It'll be another challenge for us."
