Lyonvs.Man Utd

The England international has not featured for the Red Devils since the start of February due to a muscular issue, while his last Europa League appearance was at the end of January.

However, Mainoo was able to take part in the club's training session at Carrington on Wednesday morning, suggesting that he could be in the squad that heads to France for Thursday's quarter-final first leg against Lyon.

Matthijs de Ligt was not pictured, though, with the Netherlands international a doubt after missing the Manchester derby on Sunday due to an issue that he sustained against Nottingham Forest last week.

Mainoo could return to Man United squad against Lyon

Meanwhile, Toby Collyer was a notable absentee, with the midfielder said to be suffering with a knock.

Luke Shaw was again involved on Wednesday, having made the bench against Man City, and the defender could be in line for just his fourth appearance of the campaign against Lyon.

Harry Amass, Jaydan Kamason. Godwill Kukonki and Jack Moorhouse also trained at Carrington, but it remains to be seen whether any of the four academy players will make the trip to France.

Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Ayden Heaven and Jonny Evans will definitely miss out against Lyon, but Ruben Amorim's full squad for the Europa League quarter-final first leg will be confirmed on Wednesday afternoon.
