After a challenging four-month recovery, Leny Yoro might finally step onto the pitch for Manchester United as they prepare to face Arsenal at the Emirates this Wednesday.

The young defender’s potential inclusion marks a significant milestone following his unfortunate injury during pre-season.

A Setback in Los Angeles

Yoro’s journey with Manchester United began on a sour note.

Just a week after his £52 million move from Lille, the 19-year-old fractured a metatarsal in a pre-season friendly against the Gunners in Los Angeles.

The injury required surgery and sidelined him for months, stalling his much-anticipated debut for the Red Devils.

Back in Training and Ready to Compete

In recent weeks, Yoro has resumed training and shown promising progress.

Head coach Ruben Amorim hinted at the possibility of including him in the squad for Wednesday’s match.

“Maybe Leny Yoro will be in the squad; we have one more training session to see,” Amorim shared.

“I feel he is in a good moment now, his fitness is better, and I think he is going to be in the squad.”

Amorim emphasized the importance of managing Yoro’s return carefully.

“He’s a special talent,” the coach remarked.

“He is really fast, a modern defender, and excels in one-on-one situations, which fits our pressing style. But we have to be cautious about his minutes and workload initially.”

Bruno Fernandes Fit for Action

Meanwhile, Amorim confirmed that Bruno Fernandes will be ready for the Arsenal clash despite concerns raised after Sunday’s 4-0 victory over Everton.

The midfielder was spotted with an ice pack on his ankle, but Amorim reassured fans: “He’s fit to play. Bruno is someone who doesn’t need much rest, so he is prepared.”

Squad Assessment Continues

As the countdown to the Emirates showdown continues, Amorim and his staff will evaluate the rest of the squad during their final training session.

With some players feeling the effects of recent matches, the lineup might see further adjustments.

What Lies Ahead?

For Manchester United, the return of Leny Yoro could add a fresh dynamic to their defensive lineup.

The clash against Arsenal presents not only a challenge but also an opportunity for the team to showcase their depth and resilience.

All eyes will be on Amorim’s final squad announcement to see if Yoro’s moment has arrived.
