Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim is set to welcome goalkeeper Altay Bayindir back into the squad after nearly two months on the sidelines.
The Turkish international, who has primarily served as André Onana’s backup, has made just six appearances this season, including standout performances in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
Bayindir’s most notable display came in the FA Cup third-round victory over Arsenal, where his heroics earned praise from Mikel Arteta.
However, he has been unavailable since early February, leaving United short on goalkeeping options, especially with third-choice Tom Heaton also injured.
According to club insider ‘Sully,’ Bayindir has been making significant progress in training and could return to the matchday squad soon. His fitness has improved considerably, with a focus on strength and rehabilitation work.
In addition to Bayindir, several other injured players are on the road to recovery:
– Harry Maguire: The defender has resumed grass training and is expected to return to action soon.
– Kobbie Mainoo: The young midfielder has also rejoined training.
– Luke Shaw: He has been back on the training ground but still requires some rehab before being available for selection.
– Leny Yoro: Showing promising signs of recovery, though it’s unclear if he has resumed full training.
– Amad Diallo: Expected to rejoin group training next month.
– Jonny Evans: Slightly behind in his recovery process.
– Ayden Heaven: Avoided a serious injury but will be sidelined for a few weeks.
These updates provide a boost for Amorim as he looks to strengthen his squad for the crucial stages of the season.
