Man Utdvs.Leicester

sportsmole.co.uk, 8 November 2024, 09:43
Manchester United will be aiming to make it back-to-back victories when they welcome Leicester City to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils recorded a 2-0 win over PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday night, with that result following a 1-1 draw with Chelsea in the league last weekend.

Man United are currently 13th in the Premier League table, six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, and this match will mark the team's last fixture before Ruben Amorim arrives as head coach from Sporting Lisbon.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Leicester, who are currently 15th in the table, just two points behind their opponents at Old Trafford.

Amad Diallo

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Unknown

Possible return date: November 10 (vs. Leicester)

Amad was forced off in the latter stages of Thursday's clash with PAOK after scoring a brace, and Van Nistelrooy said after the match that the forward would now need to be assessed ahead of the home fixture with Leicester.

Leny Yoro

Status: Out

Type of injury: Foot

Possible return date: December 3 (vs. Arsenal)

Yoro returned to training with Man United ahead of the Europa League clash with PAOK, and the centre-back, who fractured his metatarsal during pre-season, is now closing in on his competitive debut for the Red Devils.

There has been talk of the Frenchman being available for the trip to Ipswich Town on November 24, but it is much more likely that his first appearance for the club will come in the early stages of December.

Tyrell Malacia

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Malacia missed the entire 2023-24 season due to a serious knee injury which required two separate operations, and the left-back is still not ready to return, but he is now back in full training and should be available in the not too distant future.

Luke Shaw

Status: Out

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: Unknown

Shaw has been absent early in the season due to a calf problem, and the left-back is still not ready to feature, with Erik ten Hag revealing ahead of his departure that the Englishman has had a setback in his recovery.

Kobbie Mainoo

Status: Out

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: November 24 (vs. Ipswich Town)

Mainoo is currently on the sidelines with a muscular problem, but the England international has a strong chance of being available for selection in the team's first match after the November international break.

Toby Collyer

Status: Out

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: Unknown

Collyer has not been in a matchday squad for Man United since the middle of September due to a muscular problem, and the 20-year-old midfielder remains on the sidelines for the 20-time English champions.

Harry Maguire

Status: Out

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: November 24 (vs. Ipswich Town)

Maguire remains on the treatment table with a muscular problem, but there is a slight chance that the centre-back could make his return after the international break against Ipswich.
