Manchester United 25-man training squad vs Viktoria Plzen revealed with double injury boost

Evans is back in training

Jonny Evans and Toby Collyer were both part of the Manchester United training group on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's clash with Viktoria Plzen.

Evans has been missing from United's last four matchday squads. He started the opening game of the Ruben Amorim era away at Ipswich Town but has not played since. Collyer picked up an injury ahead of United's 2-1 win over Brentford on October 19 and has been sidelined since. Victor Lindelof was also part of the group after Amorim confirmed before the clash with Nottingham Forest that he had returned to training.

United have got their Europa League campaign back on track ahead of Thursday's trip to the Czech Republic, with back-to-back home wins against PAOK and Bodo/Glimt moving them up to 12th in the table. With the top eight qualifying automatically for the last 16 and avoiding a two-legged play-off in February, United still need a result to keep moving up the table.

Amorim will also be desperate to end the first rocky spell of his tenure, having suffered back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. The fixture comes at a time of more upheaval for United, with sporting director Dan Ashworth a shock departure on Sunday after only five months in the job.

United will fly to Plzen later on Wednesday, when a full travelling squad for the fixture is confirmed. Amorim and a player will hold a press conference in the Czech Republic later this evening.

United training squad: Onana, Bayindir, Heaton, Mee, Dalot, Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez, De Ligt, Yoro, Lindelof, Evans, Malacia, Ugarte, Casemiro, Eriksen, Collyer, Mainoo, Fernandes, Mount, Amad, Garnacho, Rashford, Zirkzee, Hojlund.
