Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has revealed that summer signing Leny Yoro is in contention to be in the matchday squad vs. Arsenal.
United will travel to the capital on Wednesday to take on Mikel Arteta’s title-chasing Arsenal.
Yoro has been sidelined for four months since he picked up a metatarsal injury in pre-season, that required him to be subjected to an operation.
Over the past few weeks, Yoro has been training with his teammates but he has not been included in any matchday squad.
It now seems like the teenager’s wait to finally make his competitive debut for the Red Devils is set to come to an end. Ahead of the meeting with Arsenal, Amorim spoke to reporters and said about Yoro, “We have one more training session to see it. Maybe Leny Yoro is going to be in the squad.”
“I feel he is in a good moment now, his fitness is better, so I think he is going to be in the squad. The others we have to see, some players are tired and we have to assess tomorrow in training.”
“I think he’s a special talent, you have to be careful in this first moment because we didn’t have too many trainings together, he is training not alone, but with a small group of players.”
“He is really fast, he is a modern defender and that is good when you want to press high and you leave a lot of strikers, especially in this league one against one, I think he can manage that. He is very good with the ball, so I’m really excited.”
“I have to be careful. We have to manage the load and the minutes in the beginning but I am really excited to see Leny Yoro play.”
