Diogo Dalot, Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee, all of whom have been out with injuries, were seen participating in the team’s training session at Carrington this Tuesday morning.

Final Preparations Underway

While their availability for the final remains unconfirmed, their presence in a training broadcast offers an encouraging sign ahead of Ruben Amorim’s expected squad announcement on Tuesday.

Zirkzee, who sustained an injury in April’s match against Newcastle United, was initially ruled out for the remainder of the season. 

However, the forward, who has scored against Real Sociedad and Lyon during the Europa League campaign, may have made a timely return.

Defenders Dalot and Yoro have been involved in this season’s European knockout matches when fit. 

The Portuguese has not featured since the Premier League fixture against Wolves last month, while Yoro was forced off in the recent top-flight encounter with West Ham.

Matthijs de Ligt, another recent absentee and Zirkzee’s Dutch compatriot, was not observed in the main training session but completed an individual workout elsewhere on the grass. 

What’s next for Man Utd?

Amorim’s team will take on Aston Villa on the final day on May 25, four days after Wednesday’s clash with Spurs.
