Leny Yoro is finally expected to make his return to action after missing almost four months with an injury.
The centre back fractured his metarsal bone in pre-season, just two weeks after joining Manchester United, and is yet to debut in a competitive game.
He had surgery on the issue at the start of August and did not get to feature under the man who signed him, Erik ten Hag.
Prior to the international break, Yoro returned to first team training, with Ruud van Nistelrooy issuing a positive update on his return.
‘He’s been managed very well after his injury in pre-season,’ he said on November 6.
‘Obviously, it was going to be a long one and it’s a big moment for him, that first time he’s back in team training.
‘We’re going to get him back partially over the coming weeks and look to get him on board as quickly as possible.’

Leny Yoro Return Game
Now, Standard Sport report that Leny Yoro could be involved in Ruben Amorim’s first game in charge against Ipswich Town on November 24.
It is unlikely that the 19-year-old will be rushed into action in United’s starting XI, but he could come off the bench if the circumstances are fitting.
Next Sunday’s affair would be Yoro’s first competitive game since his last appearance for Lille on May 19.
The Frenchman was signed for £52million in July and was the first transfer arrival under Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s ownership.

His hefty fee made him the most expensive teenage defender in football history.
Yoro joins a United defence that has kept the most clean sheets in the Premier League this season (five) and has conceded the fourth fewest goals in the competition (12).
