Young French prospect Leny Yoro, sidelined for four months due to injury, could return to competition on Wednesday for the trip to Arsenal, new Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim said on Monday. Transferred this summer from Lille for 62 million euros (excluding bonuses), the young 19-year-old defender injured the metatarsal of his left foot during a pre-season friendly match lost 2-1 against Arsenal at the end of July in California. Operated in August, the international hopeful only resumed collective training at the beginning of November.
“Maybe Leny Yoro will be in the group,” said Ruben Amorim, calling him a “special talent.” “I think he is in a good period, he is in better physical condition, so I think he will be in the group,” he insisted. He is very fast, he is a modern defender, and it is good when you want to press high and you leave a lot of attackers, especially in this championship, one against one. »
Manchester United, which is in a disappointing 9th place in the Premier League with 19 points, travels to Arsenal (2nd, 25 pts) on Wednesday for the 14th day. The Mancuniens’ defense is, for the moment, alternately composed of Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire or Luke Shaw.
