Sat Dec 07 20:49:38 UTC 2024: ## Manchester United Duo Return for Nottingham Forest Clash

**Manchester, England –** Manchester United will welcome back midfield star Kobbie Mainoo and defender Lisandro Martinez for Saturday’s Premier League encounter against Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford. Both players served one-match suspensions for the 2-0 defeat to Arsenal midweek. Their return provides a boost for manager Ruben Amorim, who will be aiming for a win to leapfrog Forest in the league table.

However, the manager confirmed that left-back Luke Shaw will miss the game due to a minor injury setback sustained before the Arsenal match. Youngster Leny Yoro, who made his debut against Arsenal, is in contention for his first start, reflecting Amorim’s policy of squad rotation to manage player workloads. This rotation policy has seen six changes to the starting XI in each of his last three matches, impacting players like Harry Maguire, Tyrell Malacia, and Mason Mount.

While Jonny Evans remains sidelined, defender Victor Lindelof has returned to training but will not be available this weekend. Amorim indicated Lindelof could be back in the squad for next week’s Europa League match against Viktoria Plzen.

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo faces his own selection challenges, confirming the continued absence of long-term injury casualties Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare, as well as Andrew Omobamidele. He will need to assess the fitness of his squad before naming his starting XI.
