Manchester United are riding high after a dominant 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League semi-final first leg, but injury concerns loom ahead of Sunday’s Premier League showdown with Brentford.
Key Absentees:
Diogo Dalot remains sidelined with a calf injury sustained against Wolves. Manager Ruben Amorim attributes it to fatigue, and no return date has been set.
Ayden Heaven has suffered a setback after initially returning to the bench vs Newcastle. Amorim confirmed he is still not match-ready.
Lisandro Martinez continues his ACL rehab following February surgery. He’s out for the season, with a return expected in August.
Toby Collyer is recovering from a leg issue and is now training individually. A return date is yet to be confirmed.
Joshua Zirkzee has been ruled out for the season due to a hamstring injury picked up in the 4-1 defeat to Newcastle. The club is now focusing on getting him ready for 2025/26.
Despite these setbacks, morale in the squad is high following their European triumph. The Reds will look to carry that momentum into the Brentford clash as they push on both domestic and cont
inental fronts.
