Late call for Monday
Yoro (undisclosed) will be a late call for Monday's game against Brentford, according to manager Michael Carrick. "We're still working on [Leny]. So, there's a possibility, there's a possibility, but at this stage, it's not 100 percent sure."
Analysis: Yoro didn't play in the 1-0 win over Chelsea and had been absent from training earlier in the week, so it seems that even if he's fit, he's not expected to return to the XI right away. Harry Maguire is back in the mix after his suspension, so he should start at center-back next to Ayden Heaven against the Bees if Yoro isn't healthy enough to feature. Manchester United are thin on defensive depth since they're already without Lisandro Martinez (suspension) and Matthijs De Ligt (back).
Absent from training this week
Yoro (undisclosed) has not trained all week and is uncertain for Monday's clash against Brentford, according to the club.
Analysis: Yoro has been absent since missing the trip to Stamford Bridge, and his lack of training activity throughout the week raises doubts about his readiness for Monday's fixture. The French under-21 international had been a regular starter in six successive matches before the issue emerged, making his potential absence a notable concern for Manchester United's defensive setup. If Yoro is ruled out, Ayden Heaven and Harry Maguire are expected to partner together at center-back. No details have been provided on the nature of the problem, leaving his availability uncertain heading into the weekend.
