Manchester United have received a significant injury boost as Matheus Cunha has returned to training after a two-game absence due to a head injury. The Brazilian star posted an update on Instagram, stating 'Back back back,' confirming his availability for the upcoming match against West Ham United on Thursday.
Manager Ruben Amorim had previously indicated that Cunha would be fit for the West Ham fixture, though he was not expected to feature in the recent win over Crystal Palace. United secured a 2-1 victory at Selhurst Park without their summer signing, with goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount.
Amorim also provided an update on Bruno Fernandes, who was seen limping after the Palace match. The manager confirmed it was just a kick and that the captain would be fine for future games. 'It was a kick, I was shouting at him because he needs to learn we make a substitution in the end... But he said it was just a kick, so everything is OK,' Amorim said.
Lisandro Martinez is expected to make his first start in over nine months during the upcoming congested fixture list, which includes matches against Wolves, Bournemouth, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United. Meanwhile, Benjamin Sesko remains sidelined with a knee injury, though he is on course to feature against Wolves later this month, and Harry Maguire continues his recovery from a muscle problem.
