Yoro, who sustained a foot injury during Manchester United’s pre-season tour in the United States, was initially expected to be out for up to three months.
This injury occurred in a match against Arsenal, abruptly ending his chances of being ready for the Premier League season’s start.
At just 18, Yoro was signed by Manchester United from Lille for a starting fee of £54 million. After the injury, he had successful surgery three weeks ago and has been focusing on his recovery. The club initially projected his return around Christmas. However, recent social media updates suggest he might come back sooner than planned.
In a recent social media update, Yoro posted an ambiguous but optimistic message, including a photo from a friendly against Rangers in July and a ‘timer’ emoji.
This hint has led fans to wonder if his recovery is ahead of schedule or if it simply reflects his positive outlook and determination to return.
Yoro’s absence has been keenly felt in Manchester United’s defense, notably in their recent 2-1 defeat to Brighton, where a late goal by Joao Pedro exposed some defensive weaknesses.
During Yoro’s absence, manager Erik Ten Hag has had to rely on Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans to fill his position, with Matthijs de Ligt also added from Bayern Munich.
Despite these adjustments, Yoro’s potential and versatility as a defender make him a valuable asset. His return could provide the essential stability and strength needed for Manchester United’s defense.
