Manchester United injury boost as Leny Yoro returns to training ahead of Ruben Amorim arrival

Manchester United have been handed a significant injury boost with the return of Leny Yoro to first-team training.

The summer signing, who arrived from Lille in July in a deal which could be worth up to £59million, is yet to make his debut after picking up an injury during pre-season.

Yoro suffered a metatarsal injury in his second pre-season game for United, which was serious enough to require surgery in August.

But, ahead of incoming manager Ruben Amorim’s arrival next week, teenager Yoro has taken part in team training for the first time in three months.

Yoro trained with the group for the first time ahead of the Europa League match against PAOK as he steps up his recovery.

The teenager was welcomed back into training on Wednesday by his team-mates, who formed a tunnel and playfully slapped him as he ran through.

Yoro completed the majority of the session but is not expected to feature against PAOK or Leicester at the weekend.

Christian Eriksen and Antony trained on Wednesday after missing Ruud van Nistelrooy's first two matches in interim charge, having seen Mason Mount return earlier.

Tyrell Malacia is also working with the group, but Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire remain absent.
