Lyonvs.Man Utd

sportsmole.co.uk, 7 April 2025, 09:15
Manchester United are back in action on Thursday evening when they make the trip to France to face Lyon in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final.

Sitting down in 13th position in the Premier League table, the Red Devils are firmly focused on this competition as they bid to earn a spot in next season's Champions League.

However, Ruben Amorim's side have not scored in their two fixtures since returning from the international break, most recently securing a goalless draw against neighbours Manchester City in the top flight.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Lyon, who are currently placed in fifth in the Ligue 1 standings.

Lisandro Martinez

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Lisandro Martinez suffered a severe knee injury during Man United's Premier League match against Crystal Palace on February 2, and the Argentina international, who has undergone an operation, is expected to be on the sidelines for the remainder of 2025.

Jonny Evans

Status: Out

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: Unknown

Experienced centre-back Jonny Evans is currently not available for selection due to a muscular problem.

Kobbie Mainoo

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: April 10 (vs. Lyon)

Kobbie Mainoo picked up a calf injury in training last month, but the midfielder is back in training. Having not been selected in the squad for the Manchester derby, the England international may return for this fixture.

Amad Diallo

Status: Out

Type of injury: Ankle

Possible return date: Unknown

Amad Diallo suffered an ankle injury during a training session in February, which had seemingly ended this season, but it is understood that the attacker could be back on the field at the start of May.

Ayden Heaven

Status: Out

Type of injury: Ankle

Possible return date: Unknown

The ankle injury that Ayden Heaven suffered against Leicester City before the international break is not as serious as first feared, and the centre-back will be back before the end of the season.

Matthijs de Ligt

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Knock

Possible return date: April 10 (vs. Lyon)

Having picked up a knock against Nottingham Forest at the start of the month, Matthijs de Ligt was not involved for the Man City game. However, the centre-back could be back in contention for this contest.
