Manchester United have been handed a major injury boost ahead of their Champions League clash with Roma on Tuesday, after Patrick Dorgu returned to training.
The Red Devils fell to a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday afternoon, taking their winless run to nine games and leaving them with just two wins in 13 games in all competitions for the season.
But Michael Carrick remains in charge of the team, and is expected to remain there until the international break at least, and the boss has been given some good news in preparation for the visit of the Serie A giants this week.
Man Utd's last Champions League game saw them take on Como in Italy with a host of absences in defence, but Carrick now has a near fully fit defence to choose from for this game.
Dorgu, who has been sidelined since the last international break after suffering a hamstring injury with Denmark, has now returned to full training and is in contention to be part of the squad against Roma, offering another option at left-back or left-wing.
Luke Shaw remains sidelined and wasn't part of the training session, which means he is likely to miss the game. Marcus Rashford, Benjamin Sesko, and Manuel Ugarte were also not involved, meaning Carrick will be without the four stars.
Leny Yoro is available to play after serving his suspension against Como for his red card at Atletico Madrid, while Lisandro Martinez is also available following his red card against Chelsea this weekend, with that suspension only applicable to domestic games.
Amad was forced off with a knock in that game too, but he was present in training and is expected to be available. Matthijs De Ligt, Ayden Heaven, and Joshua Zirkzee are all pushing for starts too.
