Man Utd trio back training before Europa League final

LONDON: Manchester United received a fitness boost on the eve of the Europa League final as Joshua Zirkzee, Diogo Dalot and Leny Yoro all returned to training on Tuesday.

Ruben Amorim´s side are preparing to face Tottenham in an all-English Europa League showpiece in Bilbao on Wednesday. Zirkzee had been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a hamstring injury at Newcastle in April, but the Dutch striker could be available after missing United´s last eight games in all competitions.

Portugal full-back Dalot has been absent for six matches due to a calf problem, while French defender Yoro sat out last Friday´s 1-0 loss at Chelsea with a foot issue. While that trio were able to train with their team-mates at Carrington on Tuesday, there was still no sign of Dutch centre-back Matthijs de Ligt, who has been sidelined with an undisclosed problem for the last three games.

United face Tottenham at the San Mames stadium looking to salvage a wretched domestic campaign by winning the first trophy of Amorim´s reign. Amorim, who replaced the sacked Erik ten Hag in November, has presided over United´s slump to 16th place in the Premier League -- just one point above 17th-placed Tottenham.
