Ruben Amorim provides Leny Yoro injury update 10 days before Europa League final | OneFootball

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has reassured fans over the condition of centre-back Leny Yoro after his withdrawal through injury during Sunday's defeat.

Yoro hasn't had a clean run of fitness since last summer's big money move from Lille, suffering a significant foot injury in pre-season before even kicking a competitive ball for his new club. The young Frenchman also missed games in March.

But there are huge expectations on a teenager billed as a generational talent and his importance to United in Amorim’s back three system is already clear.

There were understandably concerns then, when Yoro was replaced by Harry Maguire in the Premier League clash with West Ham United only a few minutes into the second half.

"We hope it's not too serious," Amorim told Sky Sports after the final whistle. "I don't want to say too much but maybe it's not a big deal," the boss added.

It raises optimism that Yoro will be available for the crucial Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur in just ten days' time.

Amorim has sought in recent weeks to rest, rotate and keep his players as fresh as possible given the importance of claiming the European trophy this season.

Victor Lindelof joined Maguire on the bench for the visit of West Ham, with the Portuguese coach opting for Luke Shaw and Noussair Mazraoui either side of Yoro. Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez are currently sidelined with injuries, limiting the centre-back options.

United, who cannot finish any higher than 13th in the Premier League this season, are to face Chelsea in their penultimate domestic fixture on Friday. That scheduling gives Amorim's team extra preparation time before the showdown with Spurs in Bilbao.

The winner of the final will not only lift a major trophy, which would be United's third in as many years, but also secure a lucrative place in next season's Champions League.
