Ruben Amorim has selected a 23-man squad for Manchester United’s quarter-final first leg in Lyon on Thursday.
Kobbie Mainoo was spotted by our cameras at Carrington on Wednesday morning, having returned to group training last week, and he is on the France-bound flight.
The England midfielder has spent two months on the sidelines but could play a part at the Groupama Stadium, as could Luke Shaw.
The left-back was an unused substitute during Sunday’s Manchester derby but is an option for the boss, as we look to secure a positive result ahead of next Thursday’s meeting at Old Trafford.
Harry Maguire, Mason Mount and Leny Yoro have all become available again since our last trip to the continent – a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad five weeks ago.
The Basques were dispatched 4-1 in M16 to set up this tie, while our upcoming opponents saw off the challenge of FCSB to make it to the last eight.
Goalkeepers Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton missed the game in San Sebastian but are back for this encounter, although United will be without Matthijs de Ligt and Toby Collyer.
De Ligt has been absent since picking up an injury at Nottingham Forest, while Collyer has suffered a knock.
Youngsters Jaydan Kamason and Jack Moorhouse are in the group and, with Amorim able to name 12 substitutes, could get a first taste of the European matchday experience.
UNITED’S SQUAD TO FACE LYON (A)
Goalkeepers: Bayindir, Heaton, Onana.
Defenders: Amass, Dalot, Dorgu, Kamason, Kukonki, Lindelof, Maguire, Mazraoui, Shaw, Yoro.
Midfielders: Casemiro, Eriksen, Fernandes, Mainoo, Moorhouse, Mount, Ugarte.
Forwards: Garnacho, Hojlund, Zirkzee.
