Manchester United received a crucial injury boost ahead of their UEFA Europa League semi-final first-leg clash against Athletic Bilbao, with the return of Amad Diallo to training.
22-year-old Diallo had initially been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign, after suffering an ankle ligament injury in early February but has now made a remarkable recovery earlier than expected.
The Ivorian international returned to the Carrington training ground on Wednesday, as United enters a crucial period of the season. Diallo has been one of United’s standout players, scoring nine goals and registering seven assists across all competitions this campaign.
Although the first leg in Bilbao may have come too soon for Diallo, United manager Ruben Amorim is expected to ease him in cautiously – with an eye on the Europa League second leg at Old Trafford next week.
