Major boost for Ruben Amorim as Man Utd star was spotted back in training ahead of Liverpool clash

 

According to a report by Metro Sport, Noussair Mazraoui has resumed training as Manchester United prepare for their Premier League encounter with Liverpool following the international break.

 

The Moroccan defender, who joined from Bayern Munich, has endured a challenging start to the season due to recurring fitness setbacks.

He sustained an injury in United’s first pre-season match against Leeds United, which sidelined him for several weeks.

The 27-year-old missed the club’s opening league fixtures against Arsenal and Fulham, made a substitute appearance against Burnley, and later started in matches against Manchester City and Chelsea.

 

However, a reported thigh problem kept him out of United’s last two outings.

 

Mazraoui did not make Morocco’s squad for their upcoming international fixtures against Bahrain and Congo but has been spotted training with the national team ahead of their first match in Rabat.

He was seen alongside former United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat and Fenerbahce forward Youssef En-Nesyri.

Initially expected to remain sidelined until after the October international break, his return to light training has raised optimism that he could be available for United’s trip to Merseyside on October 19.

Heading into the break, United’s only major absentee is Lisandro Martinez, who is still recovering from an ACL injury sustained in February.

The Argentine defender is anticipated to make a return later in the year.

United’s recent win over Sunderland lifted them to 10th in the Premier League standings, easing some of the pressure on manager Ruben Amorim.

Liverpool, meanwhile, suffered back-to-back defeats after losing to Chelsea, allowing Arsenal to move to the top of the table.
