Manchester United could welcome five players back from injury when they face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Tuesday night. It was a productive international break for Ruben Amorim and his squad could be significantly bolstered for their upcoming visit to the City Ground. The main focus for United is their upcoming Europa League quarter-final tie with Lyon next week, and Amorim could take the opportunity to experiment with his line-up as well as manage fitness levels ahead of the pivotal clash.
United could make a few changes to their starting line up against Forest, with Patrick Dorgu certain to start after he served a three-match domestic suspension. Amorim could also make a change in defence with both Leny Yoro and Harry Maguire in contention to start the upcoming clash. Here is a look at all the latest United injury news and the potential return dates ahead of a packed fixture schedule: Maguire returned to first-team training over the international break and Amorim confirmed he should be involved when they face Forest on Tuesday night.
Yoro is also back in first-team training, and will be available to face Forest in the Premier League. Amorim has a decision to make whether he is on the bench or in the starting line up. Bayindir should be back on the United bench when they travel to the City Ground.
It will be interesting to see whether he features in the Europa League next week. Heaton could be available to face Forest, but there are no guarantees he will make the matchday squad if other senior players are fit tonight. Shaw returned to training over the international break but will not be rushed back into action.
He could be on the bench against Man City this weekend. Mainoo is close to a return from injury and should be back in early May. There is a chance he could feature in the Manchester derby this weekend.
Heaven's injury is not as serious as first feared, and he could return to training in the coming weeks. There is a hope he will be available again early this month. Amad is expected to return to action before the end of the season and has hinted that his return is getting closer.
United hope he will be available for a possible Europa League final. Evans has spent a lengthy spell out of action with a muscle injury. He has missed the last 18 matches and has not been in a matchday squad since the Boxing Day defeat to Wolves.
Martinez has been a long-term absentee since he ruptured his ACL in the home defeat last month. He underwent successful surgery but is expected to face a minimum of six months out of action.
