Manchester United injury update: Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro latest news and return dates

Manchester United is facing a challenging time with several injuries as they prepare for important matches under Erik ten Hag. The team recently secured a comeback win against Brentford after drawing with Aston Villa. Despite the victory, they are still managing a lengthy injury list.

Key players like Kobbie Mainoo, Harry Maguire, and Mason Mount were absent for the match against Brentford. Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, and Tyrell Malacia have not returned, and Casemiro had to leave the game due to a possible injury. Mainoo withdrew from the England squad due to a muscle issue he sustained against Aston Villa, and he is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks. There are concerns he might miss up to seven games, with a potential return in late November.

Luke Shaw has not played since February due to a series of injuries, including a calf problem he picked up during pre-season training. He has been training again, but Ten Hag is cautious about rushing him back, noting that they need to ensure he stays fit. His return date remains uncertain.

Leny Yoro joined from Lille for £52 million but suffered a foot injury in pre-season that required surgery. He is reportedly recovering well and could be back by late November if his progress continues positively.

Tyrell Malacia, who has not played since the end of the 2022/23 season due to knee surgery, is also training alongside Shaw. There are hopes he could return by late October or early November.

Harry Maguire limped off during the match against Aston Villa and has been confirmed out for a couple of weeks due to a calf injury. He aims to return in early November for upcoming matches.

Casemiro’s situation is still uncertain after he left the match against Brentford with a calf issue. He will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the injury.

Mason Mount, who had recently returned from a calf injury, suffered a head wound in a match against Tottenham and required stitches. He has not played since and is hopeful for a quick recovery, although his return date is also unclear.

United has seen some players return from injury, such as Alejandro Garnacho, Manuel Ugarte, Amad Diallo, and Noussair Mazraoui, who recovered quickly after undergoing surgery. The team is gearing up for a busy schedule that includes a Europa League match against Fenerbahce and a Premier League game against West Ham.

With several key players sidelined, United is looking to navigate through these challenges and maintain their performance in upcoming fixtures.
