De Ligt shows his face at Manchester United ahead of Champions League clash
Summarised by MatchPal
De Ligt trained with the group Monday ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash with Atlético Madrid as he continues his recovery from a back injury sustained in late November.
Matthijs de Ligt returned to group training on Monday in his continued recovery from a persistent back injury that has sidelined him since November 30. Manager Michael Carrick indicated in late August that the defender was progressing well, though he remained unavailable for selection. De Ligt has yet to make his comeback despite the extended layoff, and his availability for Tuesday's Champions League match against Atlético Madrid remains uncertain. Carrick will hold a press conference ahead of the fixture.
