Manchester United have received a significant boost ahead of their crucial UEFA Europa League final clash against Tottenham Hotspur, with two key defensive stars, Leny Yoro and Diogo Dalot, declared fit and ready to rejoin the squad. This timely update comes as manager Ruben Amorim grapples with an injury-ravaged defense in the buildup to United’s most pivotal game of the season.
The Red Devils have faced a turbulent season, particularly in their backline. The prolonged absences of key defenders such as Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, Ayden Heaven, and Diogo Dalot had left Amorim scrambling for options. At one point, it seemed likely that the club would be forced to rely on fringe players like Victor Lindelof or academy prospect Tyler Fredricson to fill the void in this make-or-break fixture.
Now, just days before the showdown in Bilbao, sources at CentreDevils confirm that both Dalot and Yoro have recovered from their respective injuries and will be part of Amorim’s traveling squad. “They’ve made strong progress in training and are available for selection,” a club insider revealed. While their starting status remains uncertain, their availability alone offers a significant morale boost.
Dalot, who has been a standout performer throughout United’s Europa League campaign with three goals to his name, brings not only defensive solidity but also attacking threat from the flanks. Meanwhile, teenage sensation Yoro has been one of the season’s breakout stars. The 18-year-old center-back has impressed in his debut year at Old Trafford, showcasing maturity and tactical discipline beyond his age.
This final holds more than just silverware for Manchester United—it’s their ticket back to the Champions League. A win in Bilbao guarantees top-tier European football next season, a key target for the club’s long-term project under Amorim.
The return of two crucial players at such a vital time gives the Portuguese manager much-needed flexibility in his tactics and selection. As the countdown to kickoff begins, United fans will be breathing a sigh of relief—hope is very much alive.
