Manchester United prepare to travel to Southampton this weekend.
Paul Pogba's hamstring is still causing him problems and he will miss the trip to St Mary's, while Axel Tuanzebe is out with a back problem.
Luke Shaw is hoping to be involved against his former club having returned from injury as a substitute in the Carabao Cup win against Burton.
David de Gea, Antonio Valencia, Eric Bailly and Nemanja Matic are set to be involved after being rested for Wednesday's match.
Mourinho has hailed the competition for places in his squad - especially his midfield.
"Matic and Fellaini are in the best form that I have ever seen them," he said. "I never saw Matic playing so well. I never saw Fellaini playing so well.
"Carrick is in a team with these two guys, playing absolutely phenomenal.
"For Carrick and for Ander, it’s just patience because their time will arrive.
"They are going to be important players for us, for sure. That’s the team, that’s the squad."
Long-term absentees Marcos Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic remain out with their knee problems sustained at the back end of last season.
Provisional Manchester United squad
Goalkeepers: De Gea, Romero, Pereira
Defenders: Valencia, Darmian, Lindelof, Bailly, Jones, Smalling, Blind, Shaw, Young
Midfielders: Fellaini, Matic, Herrera, Carrick, McTominay, Mata, Lingard, Mkhitaryan
