„Manchester United“ defender Marcos Rojo has started training and could return to the pitch as early as the beginning of December, Goal.com reports.
The central defender dropped out of the lineup on the second of November when he dislocated his shoulder in the Manchester derby against „City“.
Team strategist Louis van Gaal said he hopes to see the Argentine back on the field in at least six weeks, but as his rehabilitation is going well, Rojo is likely to join the “Red Devils“ in the match against „Southampton“ on the eighth of December.
The return of the Argentine national team player will be a great relief for the “Man United“ coaching staff, as last weekend's match against London's „Arsenal“ forced right-back Antonio Valencia to play in the center back position, and left-back Luke Shaw suffered an injury in the first half.
Academy graduates Tyler Blackett and Patrick McNair, who were called up to the first team a little earlier, also played from the first minutes at the „Emirates“ stadium. They were supported in their position by Michael Carrick.
Rojo arrived in England from Lisbon's „Sporting“ for 20 million euros in August.
