Zirkzee, dalot, yoro - man united injury news and return dates before final

ALL THE VERY LATEST ON THE MAN UNITED INJURY FRONT AHEAD OF WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL AGAINST TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR. 04:30, 21 May 2025 Manchester United will be targeting their

first piece of silverware of the Ruben Amorim era when they face Tottenham Hotspur in Wednesday night's Europa League final. Despite the wretched nature of their domestic form this

season, an unbeaten Europa League campaign has seen United reach the final in Bilbao and put them on the cusp of clinching a first European trophy since 2017. United know that a victory over

Tottenham, who have also endured a miserable Premier League campaign, will also see them qualify for next season's Champions League, meaning that could have a game-changing impact on

this summer's recruitment plans. Ahead of the trip to Bilbao, United revealed their 26-man travelling squad, which featured Diogo Dalot, Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee. With that in mind,

here is all the very latest on the United injury front ahead of the Europa League final... DIOGO DALOT INJURY: calf Dalot is in contention to return from injury against Spurs after winning

his fitness battle and being included in the travelling squad. The Portugal international has missed the last six games because of a calf issue. Amorim said last week Dalot was "trying

really bad" to get himself fit in time for the final. He is now in contention to feature. It remains to be seen just how big a role he could play after more than four weeks since his

last appearance. POSSIBLE RETURN DATE: May 21 (Tottenham Hotspur N). LENY YORO INJURY: foot Yoro is also in contention to return from injury in Bilbao after being included in the travelling

squad. Like Dalot, he participated in Tuesday morning's open training session at Carrington, giving United a massive boost. The Frenchman was forced off in United's 2-0 defeat to

West Ham United just over a fortnight ago after going down not long after half-time clutching his left foot, sparking fears he could miss the final. Having played no part against Chelsea on

Friday night, he is available to face Spurs in the Basque Country. On him, Dalot and Zirkzee being available, Amorim said at his pre-match press conference: "They recover quite well.

They push, of course, and we have to respect the feeling of the player but we push a little bit, as they wanted to be part of the team. That is a very good sign. "Very good for us. Of

course, they are limited in the minutes for the game but they can help us win the game." POSSIBLE RETURN DATE: May 21 (Tottenham Hotspur N). MATTHIJS DE LIGT INJURY: knee De Ligt did

not train alongside the rest of his teammates on Tuesday morning and will subsequently miss the clash with Spurs. He has missed the last three games after being forced off against Brentford

earlier this month with a knee injury. United wanted to give him as long as possible to try and prove his fitness, but he has failed to recover in time. He trained alone with a fitness coach

on Tuesday morning. He has travelled to Spain to support his teammates. POSSIBLE RETURN DATE: Unknown. JONNY EVANS INJURY: unknown On each of the last two occasions United's players

have trained in front of the media at Carrington, Evans has been part of the main group. However, he was not included in the squad that faced Chelsea last week. The Northern Irishman has had

his fair share of injury issues in recent months, so much so he was last included in the matchday squad on Boxing Day. His last appearance for United was when he stepped off the bench to

score in their 4-3 defeat to Spurs in the Carabao Cup at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in December. He has been included in the squad that has travelled to Bilbao. POSSIBLE RETURN DATE:

May 21 (Tottenham Hotspur N). LISANDRO MARTINEZ INJURY: anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) Martinez is a long-term absentee after rupturing his ACL in United's 2-0 defeat to Crystal

Palace at Old Trafford at the start of February. He soon underwent successful surgery and is well underway with his recovery. United have not put a specific timeframe on how long he will be

out for, but he will not feature again this side of the summer. ACL injuries usually take around six months to fully recover from. POSSIBLE RETURN DATE: August. JOSHUA ZIRKZEE INJURY:

hamstring In a shock turn of events, Zirkzee is in contention to feature against Spurs after being included in United's travelling squad. The attacker was a surprise participant in the

open training session the Reds hosted before flying to Bilbao. Zirkzee was expected to be out for the remainder of the season after suffering a hamstring injury against Newcastle United last

month, with Amorim saying the focus for him was on getting prepared for next season. However, Amorim will be able to turn to him against Spurs if he is needed, either as a starter or via

the bench. POSSIBLE RETURN DATE: May 21 (Tottenham Hotspur N). Article continues below
