Fresh injury relief: Amorim delivers fitness update on four Man United stars

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed a double injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash with Chelsea at Old Trafford tomorrow.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference (via ManUtd.com), he revealed: “Dalot is out, Mase and Cunha are in the squad. Licha is still out, that is it.”

Diogo Dalot misses out after pulling up with muscle discomfort during September’s international break.

Lisandro Martinez suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in February.

He has returned to light grass training but is some way off full match fitness.

Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount suffered setbacks in the 3-2 victory over Burnley last month.

Cunha limped off with a hamstring problem in the first half, while Mount was withdrawn at the breakneck due to an undisclosed injury.

Their comeback could not come at a better time for United, who have managed just one win from their opening five league fixtures.

Mount’s career has been blighted by injuries over the past 24 months.

We believe Amorim may take a cautious approach and use him only off the bench.

Even without a goal to his name, Mount has caught the eye with his energy and link-up play this season.

His relentless pressing has unsettled opponents, while his clever flicks and disguised touches have carved out half-chances for teammates.

Cunha’s return will leave the fans buzzing.

The 26-year-old has injected directness and dynamism into United’s attack, which looked toothless last campaign.

Amorim could start him in the left number 10 role with Bryan Mbeumo on the opposite side.

Benjamin Sesko could be handed his second Premier League start, spearheading the attack ahead of the duo.
