Fulhamvs.Man Utd

sportsmole.co.uk, 25 January 2025, 17:38
Manchester United have been handed a triple injury boost for Sunday's Premier League clash against Fulham, with Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro and Noussair Mazraoui included in the squad.

De Ligt and Yoro were forced off the field against Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday night, and Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim said after the match that the pair had both reported injury problems.

"Leny has a pain and Mata [Matthijs] was a bruise from a touch. Leny was a little bit tired, he is playing more in this moment, so we have to be really careful and we will see. I don't know," Amorim told reporters after the win over Rangers.

However, both De Ligt and Yoro have been pictured by the Manchester Evening News making the trip to London for the clash against Fulham, suggesting that both will be involved.

Mazraoui is also seemingly available, with the Morocco international recovering from the minor issue which had seen him miss out against Rangers despite the team sheet listing him as a substitute.

De Ligt, Yoro set to be involved for Man United against Fulham

Victor Lindelof is also now back in the fold, with the Swede recovering from a recent injury problem, and there is a chance that the experienced defender will be in the squad on Sunday.

Jonny Evans, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount remain unavailable for selection, but the Red Devils are otherwise in strong shape ahead of the contest with Marco Silva's side at Craven Cottage.

Amorim has a number of big decisions to make when it comes to his starting side, as Andre Onana, Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte were among those left out of the XI against Rangers.

There had been claims that Altay Bayindir could keep his spot between the sticks following a couple of positive performances in quick succession, but Amorim has suggested that Onana will be back in goal in London.

"It is always an even fight but this was rotation, it was prepared. I also think about the mistake and the idea I think about is the message I send to you guys and the fans," Amorim said during his pre-match press conference.

"The rotation was done and everything was prepared and we will deal with that normally. We have two really good goalkeepers and they need time to play, the space in the team. So this rotation was prepared but that mistakes was my concern and, in the end, we continue with the same plan that we did last week."

Will Garnacho be involved against Fulham?

Chelsea continue to be heavily linked with Alejandro Garnacho, with the Argentina international potentially making the move to the Blues before the end of the winter transfer window.

The 20-year-old is in the squad against Fulham and is set to be involved, with Man United not actively looking to sell him, but a departure is possible if Chelsea submit an offer in the region of £60m.
