October 2nd 2023.
Willy Kambwala, a 19-year-old centre-back who joined Manchester United from Sochaux in 2020, is now training with the first team squad. Kambwala, who captained France at Under-16 level, has had his fair share of injury problems since his move, with an 11-month layoff shortly after joining the club. The youngster was pictured training with the first team towards the end of last season and is reportedly continuing to do so ahead of the Champions League game against Galatasaray and the upcoming game against Brentford on Saturday.
Kobbie Mainoo was also present for the training session on Monday. This is further evidence of the injury crisis that Manchester United is currently facing. Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, and Sergio Reguilon have all been ruled out until the international break this month, while Lisandro Martinez is now set to undergo surgery for the second time this year, which could potentially sideline him for three months.
In addition to these injuries, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, and Jadon Sancho are all unavailable. Varane recently missed three games due to injury, but has since returned to the side for the game against Crystal Palace. Harry Maguire is also back after a knock, with Victor Lindelof and Johnny Evans both available. Finally, Antony has returned to the team after taking a mutually agreed leave of absence following domestic abuse allegations. Amad Diallo remains out, but there is optimism that he and Jadon Sancho will be able to return later this month.
