Manchester United’s squad have trained in front of our cameras at Carrington, on the eve of the home game against Lyon.
The Europa League quarter-final second leg is the biggest match of our season to date, with the tie level at 2-2 and the prize of a last-four duel with Athletic Club or Rangers at stake.
There was the very welcome sight of Jonny Evans working with the group, following his lengthy absence.
The fans’ favourite has not played since the Carabao Cup clash at Tottenham Hotspur in December, when he scored in a 4-3 defeat.
Since then, he was an used substitute for the festive fixtures against Bournemouth and Wolves, but has subsequently been absent due to injury.
The experienced defender’s presence on the grass at our base is a big positive, ahead of a crunch game for Ruben Amorim’s men, particularly considering his huge influence in the changing room.
Harry Maguire, who will be speaking to the media at a press conference later, was rested at Newcastle United last weekend, with his minutes being carefully managed.
The unavailability of Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt does mean Evans’s potential return is a timely one to increase the options for the three slots over the course of a game, with Ayden Heaven absent despite being on the bench last time out.
As anticipated, there was no Joshua Zirkzee in the session, after the forward appeared to suffer a hamstring problem during the game at Newcastle.
Amad was conducting an individual session away from the main group but it was encouraging to see him getting closer in his bid to regain fitness.
Look out for the press conference from 13:30 BST, when Amorim is expected to provide more of an update on the team news ahead of the Old Trafford tie.
