Manchester United fans have reason to celebrate as head coach Ruben Amorim has delivered a crucial fitness update on three key defenders—Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt, and Leny Yoro—just days ahead of the Europa League final.
All three players had been injury concerns, casting doubts over their availability for United’s biggest game of the season. However, Amorim has confirmed that while they will not feature in this weekend’s Premier League clash against Chelsea, they will be given every chance to prove their fitness ahead of the European showdown next week.
Leny Yoro, who limped off during United’s 2-1 defeat to West Ham last Sunday with a foot injury, was absent from Wednesday’s open training session. Still, the teenage defender was spotted at Carrington, where he completed a light gym session, raising hopes of a swift recovery.
“Yoro, Dalot, and De Ligt are all back with us, but we’re not going to take any risks,” Amorim told reporters. “The focus is on having them fit and ready for the Europa League final. That is our top priority.”
Diogo Dalot and Matthijs de Ligt have both returned to full training, but Amorim remains cautious. “They’ve shown good progress, but I won’t play them against Chelsea. It’s more important they’re 100% ready for the final,” he added.
This update is a huge boost for Manchester United, who are aiming to lift their second Europa League title in four years. With defensive injuries plaguing the squad all season, the return of Dalot, De Ligt, and Yoro could prove decisive.
Fans will be watching closely over the next few days, hoping that all three defenders will be available and at full strength for what promises to be a thrilling Europa League final.
