Injury concerns assemble for Manchester United before the European final

Manchester United preparations for the upcoming final of the Europa League are overshadowed by a number of injuries, especially in defense. Manager Ruben Amorim faces the challenge of putting together a competitive backline, since the most important players are doubtful or failed.

Leny Yoros fitness in doubt

Leny Yoro suffered a foot injury in the recent 2-0 defeat by United against West Ham United. The 19-year-old defender did not take part in training sessions after the game and was not present in the squad in the following game against Chelsea. Amorim expressed uncertainty about the availability of Yoro for the final and explained: “I don't know if they will be available [for the Europa League final]. We will push because it is a final and all players want to play really bad. “

Matthijs de Ligt's injury status

Matthijs de Ligt suffered an injury during the Premier League defeat against Brentford. While the severity of the injury is still unclear, Amorim is hopeful for the recovery of the defender in good time to the final. He noticed: “I think you won't go to Chelsea, but we have the opportunity to have some of you in the final.”

Diogo Dalot's return unsafe

Diogo Dalot has been held against wolves since a violation of calves in the last month. The Portuguese Wing-Back has resumed individual training, but its participation in the final conclusion remains uncertain. Amorim noticed: “We will check week after week because he works really hard and relaxes quite well, but we will see.”

Other remarkable absences

  • Joshua Zirkzee: The Dutch striker is for the rest of the season due to a thigh injury to Newcastle in April. Amorim confirmed: “He will not play this season. We will prepare him for the next.”

  • Lisandro Martinez: Martinez suffered a broken ACL against Crystal Palace in February and is expected to return the next season after a successful operation.

When Manchester United approaches the Europa League final, the team's defensive position remains uncertain due to several injuries. Amorim's decisions in the coming days will be crucial to determine the willingness of the squad as a decisive match.
