Boost for Manchester United as Maguire, Yoro recover from injury

Manchester United boss Reuben Amorim has announced that defenders Lenny Yoro and Harry Maguire are now fit to return to first team action following their absence due to injury.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference Monday ahead of the clash with high flying Nottingham Forest set for Tuesday, Amorim announced that the duo would be back to face Forest and help the club as it chases honours this season.

"Maguire is ready to go to the game and Yoro," Amorim told the press ahead of the Forest clash.

Defender Ayden Heaven, who joined United from Arsenal in January, was carried off injured in the match against Leicester City, which United won 3-0.

"It is not so serious. He is not yet ready to play, but he will return this season, for sure," Amorim said of the 18-year-old defender.

On the other hand, Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo have returned to training but are not fit enough to play.

"(Shaw is) starting to do some drills with the team, but we are building Luke," the Portuguese said. "Kobbie is almost ready; Jonny (Evans) is recovering."

United are currently 13th in the English Premier League and will be looking to continue with a streak of good form that has seen them remain unbeaten in the last four matches.

Forest though, who have had a flying season and are currently third in the league as well as having made the FA Cup semis will be a tough outfit to face but Amorim is hoping for three points regardless.

"They played that cup stage, they won, and that is really important to recover players. So the environment will be really nice; they are doing amazing," he opined.

Kickoff will be at 10 pm local time.
