Manchester United make their return from the November international break when they welcome Everton to Old Trafford in Premier League action.

Ruben Amorim will be keen to get his side back to winning ways, following back-to-back 2-2 draws in the division against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur.

United are five unbeaten, however, and have started to click into gear ahead of a reunion with former manager David Moyes.

There are a few injury concerns in the United squad for Amorim to take note of, which could impact his game plan for taking on Everton.

So, with that said, here's a roundup of the latest injury concerns and possible return dates...

Benjamin Sesko

Benjamin Sesko is set for a spell on the sidelines after the star striker picked up an injury in the draw with Spurs before the international break.

The Slovenian international struggled with a knee issue and was forced off late in the match, leaving United down to just ten men for the remainder of the game, while he wasn't involved for his nation over the most recent break.

Amorim gave an update on the striker's condition when speaking to the press before the Everton game, and said: "He is going to be a few weeks out. Not that serious we have to be careful. He is feeling better."

It means there could be a return in time for the festive fixture schedule ahead, but he will miss the clash with the Toffees.

Possible return date: December 2025.

Harry Maguire

After making his way back into the starting line-up last time out, Harry Maguire's afternoon against Tottenham was cut short through a hamstring injury.

The extent of the issue for the defender was unknown, with two weeks to recover over the international break potentially helping him get back towards full fitness, but not in time to face off with Everton.

Amorim simply said: "Maguire is not ready," when asked about the defender's injury.

Possible return date: December 2025.

Kobbie Mainoo

Kobbie Mainoo missed out on United's trip to Tottenham through a knock he picked up just before the match.

The issue was believed to be minor, meaning he is set to be available again for the clash with Everton at Old Trafford, despite missing out on training on Friday.

On the midfielder, Amorim said: "Kobbie didn't train today but we could see him tomorrow."

Possible return date:Manchester United vs Everton - November 24.

Lisandro Martinez

It's been a long road to recovery for Lisandro Martinez, who picked up an ACL injury back in February, but the defender is nearing a full return.

The Argentinian international returned to full training just before the international break, though Amorim decided against throwing him straight back into action.

While he wasn't called up to the squad, Martinez did join up with his Argentina teammates to train, in preparation for his return to action.

On the possibility of him featuring against Everton, Amorim said: "Licha is getting close to be playing."

Possible return date: Manchester United vs Everton - November 24.
