Manchester United is likely to welcome back key players in their match against Leeds in the 32nd round of the Premier League.
In the 32nd round of the Premier League, Manchester United will host Leeds at home. In this match, manager Michael Carrick will definitely not have Harry Maguire available, as the defender received a controversial red card in the draw with Bournemouth. However, the English strategist may receive positive signals as key players have returned after recovering from injuries.
According to Standard, Lisandro Martinez is nearing his return after missing five matches. Patrick Dorgu is also in the recovery process and is not far from making his comeback. Meanwhile, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko have both withdrawn from national team camps to rest, while Noussair Mazraoui has fully recovered after illness.
Mbeumo only withdrew from the Cameroon national team as a precautionary measure. The star born in 1999 played 71 minutes in the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth and did not encounter any concerning issues. According to BBC Sport, the forward is likely to return for the match against Leeds after the national team break.
Regarding Sesko, the situation is more cautious. Despite being in high form with eight goals in the last 11 matches, the striker did not play for Slovenia in the recent series due to a physical condition closely monitored by the club. Nevertheless, he is expected to fully recover in time to participate in the Leeds match.
Martinez has been absent since the 1-1 draw with West Ham due to a minor injury before the away trip to Everton in late February. The Argentine defender has missed the last five matches, allowing Leny Yoro more opportunities. In the context of Maguire being suspended and De Ligt still not back, Martinez's return will be very significant.
Meanwhile, Mazraoui missed the Bournemouth match due to illness but quickly recovered to join the Morocco national team. The former Bayern Munich player played 82 minutes against Ecuador and was rested against Paraguay, thus likely being ready for the Leeds encounter.
Regarding Dorgu, the player impressed strongly in his early matches under Carrick, performing notably on the left wing and scoring against Arsenal, after also scoring in the Manchester derby. However, the star born in 2004 suffered a hamstring injury during the match at Emirates. If the recovery proceeds as expected over about 10 weeks, Dorgu could fully return for the Leeds match.
