That means the United trio could be part of Sunday’s Premier League crunch clash against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
But the same doesn’t go for Mount who sustained a “very unlucky” injury that adds to his fitness woes.
And the versatile midfielder isn’t the only one whose problems have extended with Luke Shaw suffering a setback to his recovery from a muscle problem.
Ten Hag said: “Mason Mount has suffered a new injury and he won’t be available.
“Luke Shaw has also suffered a set-back in his recovery”.
Mount joined United from Chelsea last summer following a £60million deal with Chelsea.
However, the England international has since been plagued with a series of injuries.
Mount was sidelined for four months with a calf injury he suffered in November.
That has limited the attacking midfielder to a mere 19 appearances across all competitions on his debut campaign with United.
Ten Hag has been dealing with a general injury crisis throughout the entirety of this turbulent season.
The Dutch tactician still has Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane in the treatment room.
Malacia hasn’t played a single game this term due to a knee injury, Martinez suffered a calf injury in March shortly after his return to full fitness while Varane is treating a muscle problem.
Ten Hag, though, revealed Martinez has asked to play against Arsenal but he won’t risk him.
Ten Hag added: “Lisandro Martínez is desperate to play, he wanted to play vs Arsenal but it’s too early.
“I’d never gamble with a player’s fitness. It’s about them and their futures. That is the most important thing. I have to take responsibility for it.”
Ten Hag has lost so many defenders to the treatment room that he had to use defensive midfielder Casemiro as a centre-back.
