Manchester United are facing a few injury challenges ahead of their upcoming Europa League match against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday. The match marks Ruben Amorim’s first home game in charge of the club, following a 1-1 draw at Ipswich on Sunday. While some players are back in training, two defenders are set to miss the clash due to injury concerns.

Lisandro Martinez, who missed the previous match due to a back issue, has now returned to full fitness and will be available for selection. This comes as a boost for Amorim, who confirmed the Argentine center-back’s recovery during his pre-match press conference.

In contrast, long-term injury absentee Leny Yoro is still working his way back to full fitness. The 19-year-old has yet to make his debut for Manchester United after suffering a fractured foot during pre-season. Although he has returned to training, Amorim indicated that Yoro’s recovery is being handled cautiously, and he will need more time before making his return to action.

Another player close to a return is Harry Maguire. The 31-year-old defender has been sidelined since October following a match against Aston Villa. Amorim noted that Maguire is back in training but did not confirm his availability for the upcoming game. The situation with Maguire differs from that of Martinez, as the United boss is still assessing his readiness to rejoin the matchday squad.

On the other hand, Victor Lindelof, who picked up a groin injury while playing for Sweden during the international break, is unlikely to feature against Bodo/Glimt. While Manchester United has yet to issue an official update, it seems that Lindelof will not be available for the Thursday night fixture.
