Manchester United could soon welcome back Tyrell Malacia after his lengthy injury ordeal.
The Dutch defender is gearing up for a return to action in the coming weeks and could even be in one of the next couple of squads as the club look to ease him back into the first-team fold.
Malacia, 25, did not feature for the entirety of the previous campaign after undergoing knee surgery in summer of last year. It means the Dutchman has not played a single minute since starting the 2-1 victory over Fulham in May 2023.
United are still without the injured Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw, while Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount and Harry Maguire are more recent injury setbacks.
Here is a round-up of all the latest injury news and the potential return dates ahead of the Premier League clash with West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.
