At Manchester United’s Carrington training grounds, defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka is taking significant steps towards regaining full fitness. The right-back has been sidelined since September 16 due to a hamstring injury sustained during United’s home defeat to Brighton.

Recently, Wan-Bissaka returned to training on the grass at the club’s facilities, moving closer to making a full return to action. If all goes according to plan, he could be back in action within the next 10 days following the final stages of his recovery.

This potential return will come as welcome news for Manchester United, especially given the team’s upcoming fixtures. On Sunday, they face Manchester City in a highly-anticipated match, followed by a Carabao Cup clash against Newcastle on Wednesday night. Subsequently, they will travel to Fulham in the Premier League, with a demanding schedule that necessitates a fit and ready squad.

Erik ten Hag, the Manchester United manager, has been grappling with numerous injury concerns, particularly in defense. Regulars like Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez have been sidelined for an extended period.

Throughout the season, the team has had to contend with injuries to key players such as Raphael Varane, Sergio Reguilon, Jonny Evans, Tyrell Malacia, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Wan-Bissaka’s impending return is a positive development for the squad, offering a glimmer of hope amid the injury challenges they’ve faced.
