Manchester United will once again be without two-thirds of their first-choice squad when they travel to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko have been ruled out of the trip to Selhurst Park, meaning Amorim will have to make do with the same attacking options that failed horribly against Everton on Monday night.
United looked helpless against the Toffees, losing 1-0 despite playing the majority of the match with 10 men following the dismissal of Idrissa Gueye.
Defender Harry Maguire is also absent.
“Sesko is going to take a bit more time,” said Amorim, whose team is 10th in the Premier League table. “It will take a little longer and we are taking care of him.
“Harry, same. I expect to have Matheus in the next one [West Ham United on Thursday]not this one.
We have to start again – Amorim
Everton’s defeat was a blow for United after a five-game unbeaten run which had seen them climb the Premier League table.
“Start again,” Amorim said when asked what the approach should be now. “It was a really tough week, as it should be. It was tough after this result, this defeat. But the process has to continue and we have to go for the next game and we have to understand, especially in our league this year, that everything can change very quickly so let’s come back and focus on the next one.
“In our club it’s the same because last year we had to win every game all the time and we got a lot of criticism because we weren’t winning. So in our club there are no excuses.
“If I look at the games, we should have more points because we had control in some games, we had the advantage in some games and we lost that control. It’s really disappointing and really frustrating, especially in the last game.”
Second away win not far away, insists Amorim
United have won just one Premier League game at Old Trafford this season, away to Liverpool in October, but Amorim is confident they are on the verge of unlocking a successful formula.
“We have to show the players why we lost control at Forest, why we lost control against Tottenham,” he said. “And if you look at those games, they were there to win. Sometimes one little thing can change everything.
“Then I felt this year when we play at home the intensity was higher and I felt in that home game. [against Everton] the intensity wasn’t at the same level so I think that’s something we need to work on. It’s hard to explain why we’re not winning. There are a lot of issues that we are improving. Like I said, we had the advantage in away games but we need to know how to finish games to win.
