Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee made a surprise return to training on Tuesday ahead of the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur, despite earlier expectations that a hamstring injury would sideline him for the rest of the season. Zirkzee, who has been out since April 13, was previously ruled out by manager Ruben Amorim, who stated that the 23-year-old would only return next season.
Joining him in training were defender Leny Yoro and full-back Diogo Dalot, offering a potential triple boost for United as they prepare for a crucial match. Yoro, just 19, has impressed during his debut campaign but suffered a foot injury against West Ham on May 11, casting doubt on his availability for the final. Dalot’s return adds further depth and experience to Amorim’s squad as they aim to turn around a difficult season.
Amorim is expected to provide updates on the players’ readiness during a pre-match press conference in Bilbao, where the final will take place at San Mames Stadium. The Europa League final carries high stakes, with the winner earning automatic qualification to next season’s UEFA Champions League.
