Man Utd set to welcome four players back from injury | OneFootball

Leny Yoro is one of four Manchester United players expected to make an imminent return from injury, according to a report.

The French centre-back endured a four-month wait to make his debut after picking up an ankle injury swiftly following his £52m move from Lille last summer. The teenager regained fitness and managed to establish himself as a regular in Ruben Amorim's back-three before a foot issue in early March.

Alongside Yoro, United could welcome Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo back to the matchday squad against Nottingham Forest next week, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Maguire's last appearance for the club was the FA Cup defeat to Fulham on the first weekend in March. However, as England boss Thomas Tuchel revealed, the centre-back is on the cusp of once again being available for selection having shaken off a calf issue.

Mainoo has endured an even longer wait for first-team football. A muscular issue has sidelined the England international for almost two months. During this spell in the treatment room, Mainoo has remained entangled in the headlines, with news of his supposed desire to leave Manchester United and join a foreign club emerging in recent weeks.

The fourth and final returnee to United's squad is the most surprising. Ayden Heaven was stretchered off against Leicester City on the eve of March's international break, sparking fears of a lengthy layoff for the winter recruit. However, those concerns were swiftly quashed and Heaven is expected to be back in training this month. But whether the left-footed defender will be fit enough to make the trip to Forest's City Ground remains to be seen.

Patrick Dorgu - who will now be known as Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu - has concluded a domestic suspension, but United are still missing several key figures. Centre-backs Lisandro Martinez and Jonny Evans remain sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Luke Shaw is closing in on a return and Amad Diallo's involvement before the end of the campaign looks increasingly likely.

After travelling to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, United host rivals Manchester City on Sunday.
