Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has provided crucial updates on the fitness of several key players ahead of the club’s upcoming encounter with Real Sociedad.
Amad Diallo, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, and Manuel Ugarte are all dealing with injuries, while others remain sidelined.
Amad Diallo’s Season Remains in Doubt
Amorim remains hopeful that Amad Diallo could return to action before the end of the season.
The winger has struggled with fitness setbacks this campaign, and while the manager has not set a definitive timeline for his return, he remains optimistic.
Encouraging Signs for Shaw, Mount, and Ugarte
The Portuguese coach expressed confidence that Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, and Manuel Ugarte will recover soon. Mount appears closest to a return and could be available in the coming fixtures. Meanwhile, Ugarte is being assessed and has a chance of featuring against Real Sociedad, depending on the final medical evaluation.
Maguire and Yoro Face Late Fitness Tests
Harry Maguire’s availability remains uncertain, with Amorim estimating his chances of playing at 50%. The defender’s fitness will be evaluated in the coming days to determine whether he can feature. Leny Yoro, who recently suffered a foot injury, is also undergoing assessment and will have to pass a late fitness test to be included in the squad for Thursday’s match.
Long-Term Absentees Remain Sidelined
Beyond the current injury concerns, United will continue to be without Kobbie Mainoo, Altay Bayindir, Jonny Evans, and Lisandro Martínez, all of whom remain unavailable for selection.
As United prepares for a crucial European fixture, Amorim will be hoping to recover some of his key players in time for the match.
