Manchester United have received a major fitness boost ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash against PAOK, with Leny Yoro training with the first-team squad at Carrington on Wednesday morning.
The Red Devils beat Real Madrid to the signature of the teenager over the summer, with the Frenchman moving to the 20-time English champions from Lille in the middle of July.
Yoro made a huge impression against Rangers on his non-competitive debut before travelling with the Man United squad to the United States for their pre-season tour, but he fractured his metatarsal in a pre-season clash with Arsenal.
The 18-year-old has been on the sidelines since, but he is now closing in on a return, with the centre-back able to train with the first-team squad on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's fixture with PAOK.
When could Yoro make Man United debut?
Yoro made 60 appearances for Lille, including 44 outings during the 2023-24 campaign, and he is regarded as one of the best young talents in world football.
The defender will not be involved in Man United's two matches ahead of the November international break, which come against PAOK and Leicester City, while he will also not feature against Ipswich Town or Bodo/Glimt at the end of the month.
A return for the Premier League game against Everton on December 1 will also be a stretch, but it is believed that, should his recovery process go as planned, then he might be available for the trip to Arsenal on December 4.
Yoro's return will be like a new signing for Man United heading into the festive period, and he could prove to be a vital player under Ruben Amorim, who will officially arrive as the club's new head coach on November 11.
Which other Man United players have recovered from injuries?
Christian Eriksen and Antony also trained on Wednesday, with the pair recovering from recent injuries, while Mason Mount is back in full training, as the attacker finally looks to overcome his fitness problems.
Tyrell Malacia was also present, with the defender continuing his recovery from the serious knee injury which has sidelined him since the end of the 2022-03 campaign.
As a result, the only first-team players currently not training for Man United are Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo, but the latter is expected to be available for selection shortly after the international break.
