Manchester United injuries: Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo, Leny Yoro return dates and latest news | OneFootball

Manchester United are preparing to embark on a new era as Ruben Amorim takes charge for their Premier League fixture against Ipswich.

The Portuguese manager arrived at Old Trafford during the international break after being identified as Erik ten Hag’s permanent successor.

He will now get to work on continuing the club’s strong recent form, with interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy overseeing a promising period.

And Amorim could be immediately boosted by a couple of injury returnees.

Leny Yoro

Summer signing Yoro is yet to feature in a competitive game for Manchester United. The centre back suffered a fractured foot during preseason and has been working his way back to fitness ever since, it would appear that the Frenchman may be close to a return having returned to team training.

Possible return: Ipswich, Sunday 24 November

Lisandro Martinez

Martinez was called home having briefly joined up with Lionel Scaloni’s Argentina squad, with the defender citing back pain. An assessment will be required to determine if he is able to take part in Amorim’s first game, with the left-sided Martinez potentially a key figure under the manager.

Possible return: Ipswich, Sunday 24 November

Harry Maguire

Maguire has been absent since sustaining a muscular injury in the goalless draw against Aston Villa. The defender suggested he would be sidelined for “a few weeks”.

Possible return: December

Mainoo was another to pick up an issue against Aston Villa. He could yet bolster Amorim’s options against Ipswich.

Possible return: Ipswich, Sunday 24 November

Luke Shaw

Plagued by injury, Shaw suffered a set-back in his recovery from his latest ailment during the final days’ of Ten Hag’s tenure and is unlikely to be available for selection in Amorim’s first few fixtures.

Tyrell Malacia

There is better news about fellow left-back Tyrell Malacia, though - the Dutchman was able to complete 45 minutes for Manchester United’s Under 21s against Huddersfield in the EFL Trophy last week and he could soon push for his first minutes for the first team in a year-and-a-half.
