Europa League: Amorim gets double injury boost ahead of Athletic Bilbao vs Man Utd

Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, has received a double injury boost after Amad Diallo and Matthijs de Ligt returned to training.

Their return come ahead of their Europa League semi-final against Atletico Bilbao.

Diallo has not played for United since he suffered an ankle injury in February.

It was initially feared that the 22-year-old would miss the rest of the season.

However, the Ivorian forward could yet play a part in the final fixtures of this campaign.

Amorim’s men travel to San Mames to take on Bilbao this week hoping to return to the Champions League.

On Wednesday, United received further good news in the return of De Ligt to training following his ankle problems.

The Dutchman has been out since the start of the month after picking up the injury in the defeat by Nottingham Forest.

Amorim revealed that the defender is ‘near’ to a return and he could feature against Bilboa on Thursday.

Diallo is unlikely to be risked for the away leg but could make his return when United welcome Bilbao to Old Trafford on May 8.
