United Boosted by Yoro and Maguire Returns

Key Players Back in Action

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Leny Yoro and Harry Maguire are back in the squad for Tuesday night's Premier League match against Nottingham Forest. This news comes as a significant boost for United, who have been dealing with a series of injuries in recent weeks.

Injury Updates and Player Returns

Leny Yoro, the 19-year-old French centre-back, has recovered from a foot injury sustained against Arsenal earlier this month. After missing wins over Real Sociedad and Leicester City, Yoro returned to training last Friday and is now ready to feature. Speaking to MUTV, Yoro expressed optimism, saying he feels "really good" and is experiencing "no pain."
Harry Maguire, sidelined since February with a calf injury, is also fit and available. Both players have been key components of Amorim’s preferred back three alongside summer signing Matthijs de Ligt.

While Yoro and Maguire’s return strengthens United’s defense, other players remain unavailable:

Luke Shaw has resumed training but is not yet match-ready.
Mason Mount is improving and was on the bench in the last game.
Kobbie Mainoo and Jonny Evans are nearing returns but won’t feature against Forest.
Lisandro Martínez remains out, while young defender Ayden Heaven, who impressed before his injury, is recovering but will not play on Tuesday.

Squad Adjustments for Forest Game

In their absence, Manchester United has relied on Victor Lindelof and Noussair Mazraoui as auxiliary centre-backs. However, with Yoro and Maguire back, Amorim can restore his preferred defensive setup. Additionally, Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu will be available for domestic action after a long hiatus.

Teenager Chido Obi-Martin will miss the game as he joins the Under-18 squad for their FA Youth Cup semi-final against Aston Villa. Obi has been sensational in the youth competition, scoring seven goals in three games, including a hat-trick against Chelsea.

Amorim’s Optimism

Despite sitting 13th in the Premier League table, United are unbeaten in their last seven games across all competitions. Amorim highlighted the team’s improved energy and confidence heading into April’s packed schedule, which includes a Europa League quarterfinal against Lyon and crucial league matches against Manchester City and Newcastle.

With Yoro and Maguire back in action, United fans can expect a stronger defensive display at Nottingham Forest. Stay tuned for what promises to be an exciting clash!
