This season, Manchester United has faced a series of injuries affecting many of their first-team players, resulting in the Red Devils fielding fewer key players than anticipated.
However, the club has received a significant injury boost ahead of their Europa League match against Fenerbahce on Thursday. Premier League newcomer Leny Yoro has returned to training following a foot operation.
On Monday, Manchester United announced that the center-back is back on the grass at Carrington after suffering the injury over the summer. He is currently engaged in individual training and working out in the gym. While the club noted that Yoro still has a lot of work ahead of him before making his debut for the Red Devils, this marks a positive step forward.

The 18-year-old defender joined Manchester United from Lille in July for £52 million ($68 million) but has yet to feature in a competitive match due to the injury that required surgery.
Yoro had an impressive stint with Lille, and there are high hopes he can replicate that form when he takes to the field for Manchester United. Last season, he made 44 appearances across all competitions, scoring three goals, and earned a spot in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year for the 2023/2024 season.
The Red Devils are eagerly awaiting Yoro’s return to full fitness and expect him to bring the same level of performance that led them to pursue his signing this summer.
