Manchester United trio Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and Toby Collyer have all been involved in full training on Wednesday morning.
The three players had been ruled out due to injury but head coach Ruben Amorim now has an almost fully fit squad to choose from ahead of the game against Viktoria Plzen and the Manchester derby.
Evans has not been available since Amorim’s first game in charge against Ipswich Town. The 36-year-old lasted 56 minutes before he was replaced by Luke Shaw in the 1-1 draw.

Lindelof, meanwhile, has not featured under the new head coach so far, having picked up a hamstring issue whilst on international duty last month.
The centre-back was not deemed ready to face Nottingham Forest at the weekend but there is a good chance that he will named in the matchday squad for the Europa League fixture versus Viktoria.
Collyer is available for the first time since October
The 20-year-old was handed his debut against Manchester City in the Community Shield at the start of this season and he then made his first league appearance as a half-time substitute against Liverpool in a 3-0 defeat.
Collyer was handed a start by Erik ten Hag at left-back as the Red Devils beat Barnsley 7-0 in the Carabao Cup but he hasn’t played since then. It will be interesting to see whether Amorim believes he is ready for more first-team action.
United only have one player on the treatment table
The return of Evans, Lindelof and Collyer means that the injury list is shorter than it has been for quite some time. The only member of the senior squad unavailable is Luke Shaw.
It was confirmed at the start of December that the fullback had suffered an injury setback. He had played just three games on his return to fitness before picking up another problem.
