He’s back to training now and will probably play against Nottingham Forest”: Manchester United’s coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed a big injury boost for Man United as talented youngster returns to training despite doctor’s out of the season prediction. I’M CURRENTLY SHEDDING TEARS OF JOY 😭
Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is edging closer to a return after nearly two months on the sidelines. The Turkish international has been recovering from an injury that has limited his appearances this season, but his imminent comeback will provide a much-needed boost to Rúben Amorim’s squad.
Bayindir, who has played six matches this season—three in the Carabao Cup—delivered a standout performance in the FA Cup third round against Arsenal. His heroics in that match earned praise from Mikel Arteta, who described his display as ‘outstanding.’ However, his absence since early February has left United short of goalkeeping options, especially with third-choice keeper Tom Heaton also unavailable.
According to club insider ‘Sully,’ Bayindir has made significant progress in training and could soon be back in the matchday squad. The goalkeeper resumed training on grass last week and has been focusing on strength and rehabilitation work, improving his fitness levels considerably.
Meanwhile, updates on United’s other injured players indicate positive strides:
Harry Maguire has returned to grass training and could be the first to rejoin the squad.
Kobbie Mainoo has also resumed training, signaling a potential return soon.
Luke Shaw continues his recovery but still has some rehabilitation work ahead.
Leny Yoro is showing promising signs, though his full training status remains unclear.
Amad Diallo is expected to rejoin group training next month.
Jonny Evans is slightly behind in his recovery compared to others.
Ayden Heaven has avoided a serious injury but is likely to be out for a few weeks.
With several key players working their way back to fitness, Amorim will have more squad depth heading into a crucial
stretch of the season.
