Fitness boost for Man Utd! Aaron Wan-Bissaka closing in on return to first-team action after hamstring injury

  • Wan-Bissaka got injured in September
  • Has resumed training on grass
  • Nearing first-team action

WHAT HAPPENED? The right-back had to be taken off after he picked up a hamstring injury in the final few minutes of United's Premier League defeat to Brighton at Old Trafford in September. According to Daily Mail, Wan-Bissaka has got back to training outdoors from the gym but is still working individually to ramp up his fitness.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The medical team at United hope to get the defender up and running within the next 10 days, however, he is set to miss the derby against Manchester City on Sunday.

Nonetheless, the full-back's return will be music to the ears of Red Devils fans as regulars Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez are set to spend significant time on the sidelines.
