On Thursday evening, in the second round of the Europa League, Manchester United will host players from Ukraine's Zorya Luhansk at home, and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan may return to the field.
The 27-year-old player, who suffered a thigh injury at the beginning of the month while playing for the Armenian national team, has not played since the Manchester derby ended in defeat when he was substituted after the first half.
The Armenian missed the last four Man Utd matches, but now he is back participating in team training and could appear on the field against Zorya, who currently hold second place in the Ukrainian league.
However, United manager Jose Mourinho may have to do without three players - Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Shaw is recovering from a groin problem, Martial did not play against Premier League champions Leicester City due to a head injury suffered in the match against Watford.
Meanwhile, Ibrahimovic was spotted in Milan on Monday, and the Italian press reported that Mourinho had given his striker a short break until the weekend's English Championship match against Stoke.
After the first matches in Group A, Man Utd sits at the bottom of the table, losing 0-1 to Feyenoord, while Zorya drew 1-1 with Fenerbahce.
