The central midfielder was forced off in the second half of Wednesday's 1-0 Europa League last 32 second-leg win over Saint Etienne with a calf problem.
And after the match, Mourinho ruled the 35-year-old and Henrikh Mkhitaryan out of the final.
But in his pre-match press conference, the United boss revealed Carrick would be fit to play.
However Mkhitaryan is unavailable and Phil Jones faces a test in training.
He said: “Michael is available. He was clever, he had the experience and left the pitch in right moment.
“So Michael is available. Mkhitaryan is out. Jones, let’s see and decide tomorrow.”
