Manchester United Prepare for Europa League Clash Against Fenerbahce Amid Injury Concerns

Manchester United are gearing up for a Europa League showdown against Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce in Turkey on Thursday night. After ending a five-game winless streak across all competitions, which included Europa League draws with FC Twente and Porto, the Red Devils secured a crucial 2-1 win against Brentford in the Premier League last weekend.

Erik ten Hag’s side are looking to claim back-to-back victories for only the second time this season as they face Fenerbahce, who have made a solid start to their Europa League campaign, collecting four points from their first two matches.

Man United’s Injury and Suspension Update:

• Leny Yoro (Out) – The summer signing has returned to training after recovering from a fractured metatarsal but is not expected to feature until late November.
• Kobbie Mainoo (Out) – Ruled out for a few weeks due to a muscle injury, Mainoo is expected to return in mid-November.
• Harry Maguire (Out) – Similarly to Mainoo, Maguire is also sidelined with a muscle injury and is targeting a return in November.
• Luke Shaw (Out) – Shaw has yet to play this season due to a persistent calf injury, and there is no clear timeline for his return.
• Tyrell Malacia (Out) – After missing the entire 2023-24 season due to a serious knee injury, Malacia is back in training but not yet match-ready.
• Mason Mount (Out) – Mount has missed the last three games with an unspecified knock, and his return date is uncertain.
• Tom Collyer (Out) – The midfielder was absent against Brentford due to an unspecified injury, with no current indication of when he might return.
• Casemiro (Minor Doubt) – The Brazilian midfielder suffered a calf injury in the closing stages against Brentford. He will be assessed ahead of Thursday’s clash, with hopes of making a quick recovery.

Suspension:

• Bruno Fernandes (Suspended) – The club captain will miss the match after receiving a suspension for two yellow cards in the 3-3 draw with Porto. He is set to return in the Europa League fixture against PAOK next month.

With a number of key players unavailable, Manchester United will be looking to continue their momentum as they face a tough test in Turkey against Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.
