Amorim reveals Yoro could FINALLY make MU debut after four months out injured

Leny Yoro could be included in Manchester United’s squad to face Arsenal at the Emirates on Wednesday after a four-month absence.

Yoro fractured a metatarsal in a pre-season friendly against the Gunners in Los Angeles in July, just a week after joining United for £52million from Lille.

The 19-year-old has resumed training in recent weeks following surgery, and new head coach Ruben Amorim revealed that Yoro could be available to make his competitive debut against Mikel Arteta’s side.

‘Maybe Leny Yoro will be in the squad, we have one more training session to see it,’ said Amorim. ‘I feel he is in a good moment now, his fitness is better, I think he is going to be in the squad.

‘I think he’s a special talent. You have to be careful in this first moment, we didn’t have too many training sessions together. He is training not alone, a small group of players.

‘He is really fast, a modern defender and that is good when you want to press huge one versus one, he is good at that. But I have to be careful, we have to manage the loads, the minutes in the beginning, but I am excited to see Leny Yoro playing.’

Amorim also confirmed that Bruno Fernandes will be fit to face Arsenal despite having an ice pack on his ankle after Sunday’s 4-0 win over Everton.

‘Now he’s fit to play, I see him already this morning,’ added the United boss. ‘He’s fit to play, he’s a guy that doesn’t need a lot of rest, you know him, so he is prepared to play. The rest we have to see, some players are tired and we have to assess tomorrow in training.’
