Manchester United fans are ecstatic that highly regarded French defender Leny Yoro seems to be returning to the field sooner than expected.
Unfortunately, Yoro got a foot injury during the preseason tour in the United States that may have prevented him from playing for up to three months. However, based on his most recent social media post, it appears like his recovery is going well.
Yoro’s chances of being ready for the Premier League season opener were dramatically dashed during Manchester United’s preseason game versus Arsenal in the United States.
The 18-year-old, who was originally purchased from Lille for £54 million, had a successful operation three weeks ago, and he is now concentrating on his recovery.
Because of Yoro’s recent actions on social media, there are now more rumors that he may return before the club’s Christmas goal.
Yoro posted a thought-provoking but mysterious message on social media. Only one picture of himself—leaving a friendly game versus the Rangers in July—had the emoji “timer” added to it.
Fans are wondering if this small indication indicates he is recovering more quickly than they thought or if it is just a proof of his resolve to remain upbeat and concentrated on making a comeback.
Manchester United’s defenders have missed Yoro, especially in their most recent 2-1 loss to Brighton, when Joao Pedro’s late goal highlighted defensive flaws.
Manager Erik Ten Hag has brought in Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich, Harry Maguire, and Jonny Evans to cover for Yoro.
Despite this, Yoro is a significant asset due to his potential and adaptability, and his return might offer much-needed consistency at the back.
