and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Manchester United have been handed some mixed injury news ahead of their trip to face Arsenal in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Ruben Amorim's side are back in action when they travel to the Emirates and are set to be boosted by the availability of Bruno Fernandes and the long-awaited return of Leny Yoro. The 19-year-old never featured in a competitive match under former manager Erik ten Hag after he fractured his metatarsal during a pre-season clash with Arsenal, but is set to be named in the squad against the same opponents tonight.

Hide AdIt is not all good news though, with Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans both set to miss the trip to North London with ongoing injury issues. Here is the latest team news and predicted return dates for the match:
Bruno Fernandes - 4 December vs Arsenal (A)
Fernandes was seen wearing an ice pack after his withdrawal against Everton but Amorim has confirmed he will be back to face Arsenal. The Portuguese midfielder is likely to be named in the starting line up tonight.
Leny Yoro - 4 December vs Arsenal (A)
Yoro has yet to make his competitive debut for Manchester United but is set to be named in their matchday squad when they travel to face Arsenal. The French defender is most likely to be named on the bench after such a long spell out but could make his full debut in the coming week.
Victor Lindelof - 7 December vs Nottingham Forest (H)
Lindelof has missed the last three matches after suffering a setback during the international break. He could be back when United host Nottingham Forest this weekend.

Hide AdJonny Evans - 7 December vs Nottingham Forest (H)
Evans has missed the last two matches with a knock. He should be back in contention at some stage this week but is being managed carefully and there was no update on him ahead of Arsenal.
Toby Collyer - 7 December vs Nottingham Forest (H)
Collyer was initially ruled out for a month at the start of November and could return at some stage this week. He'll be eager to impress Amorim after a spell on the sidelines.
Shaw has suffered a fresh setback after his recent return from injury and it is unclear when he might be available for selection again. A return next month seems the most likely at best.
