Manchester United have been handed a major ιnjury boost with English defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka returning to full team training, according to the Daily Mail.

The 25-year-old is making significant strides on his path to full fitness at the club’s Carrington headquarters, marking a promising turn in his road to recovery.

The right-back has spent the better part of the last six weeks confined to the treatment room after sustaining a hamstring ιnjury in the closing stages of Man United’s defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on September 16.

He was only introduced in the 85th minute of the Old Trafford defeat, replacing Argentine centre-back Lisandro Martinez, but still struggled to see out the fixture with a hamstring problem.

Having missed a significant period of action, the former Crystal Palace defender has rejoined the rest of Erik ten Hag’s squad in team training and is close to being available for selection.

Man United expects the defender to miss Sunday’s exciting Manchester derby, but they also hope he can finish the last parts of his rehabilitation within the next 10 days.

The Red Devils’ big match of the weekend is against Manchester City at Old Trafford, then on Wednesday night, they play Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup fourth round.

Ten Hag’s team benefits greatly from the right-back’s comeback in terms of injuries, even though the Manchester derby may come too soon for him.

The Red Devils have been plagued with injuries since the start of the season, especially in the defensive areas, which has contributed to their poor start to the season.

This season, injuries have sidelined Raphael Varane, Sergio Reguilon, Jonny Evans, Tyrell Malacia, and Wan-Bissaka; Luke Shaw and Martinez are long-term absentees.

Before suffering an ιnjury, Wan-Bissaka appeared in five Premier League games and provided one assist.

Despite having won their last three games, Man United welcomes Man City to the Theatre of Dreams, but they know they have an uphill bаttle ahead of them on Sunday.
