All the very latest on the injury front ahead of Man United’s final pre-season friendly of their US tour against Everton.
Manchester United will be aiming to bring their pre-season tour of the United States to a close with a victory against Everton at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday night.
The Reds have enjoyed a successful stay in the US, winning each of their opening two Premier League Summer Series outings, beating West Ham United 2-1 and Bournemouth 4-1.
It means they just need to avoid defeat against Everton win the Summer Series and return to Old Trafford with a pre-season trophy among their luggage.
Ahead of the clash with the Toffees, here is all the very latest on the injury front…
Andre Onana
Injury: hamstring
Goalkeeper Onana has not featured for United so far this summer after suffering a hamstring injury in the first week of pre-season training at Carrington.
Despite not being deemed fit enough to be involved during the tour, he did travel to the US almost a fortnight ago to continue his rehabilitation. He has been training on the grass, with images being captured by club photographers.
There is a chance he could be involved in some capacity when Fiorentina visit Old Trafford for United’s final warm up match next Saturday.
Possible return date: August 9 (Fiorentina H).
Noussair Mazraoui
Injury: knock
The Moroccan has played no part in United’s opening two games of their tour of the US, missing out due to a knock. He started the pre-season opener against Leeds United in Stockholm last month and was taken off at half-time.
Mazraoui was last pictured in a training session more than a week ago. It remains to be seen when he will next be available for selection.
Possible return date: unknown.
Lisandro Martinez
Injury: anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
Martinez has been absent since suffering an ACL injury in United’s 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford back in February. He underwent successful surgery and has been on the comeback trail ever since.
He is currently in the US with the rest of the squad and has participated in gym sessions. He could resume light training before the end of the tour.
United have not put a specific timeframe on how much longer he could be unavailable.
Possible return date: unknown.
Joshua Zirkzee
Injury: unspecified
Zirkzee has not featured in any of United’s opening three pre-season friendlies this summer and it remains to be seen when he will be available to return. He suffered a minor injury at the start of pre-season and has not featured in team training during the tour.
He rushed back from a hamstring towards the end of last season, ensuring he was strong enough to appear from the bench in the Europa League final, but he has not played since.
Zirkzee has set himself the goal of being available for the start of the season, meaning he may not feature in the upcoming friendlies against Everton and Fiorentina.
Possible return date: August 17 (Arsenal H).
