Leny returns to group training

Ruud van Nistelrooy and his players are preparing for the visit of Greek champions PAOK in the Europa League, on Thursday.

As per UEFA rules, the media were permitted to attend the first 15 minutes of this morning’s workout at our training base, and saw Yoro step up his recovery.

The 18-year-old is yet to make his competitive debut since signing from Lille, after suffering a foot injury during our pre-season tour in July, but this is a positive sign and marks the next stage in his rehabilitation.

Last month, our cameras captured Leny at work on his own in the gym and out on the pitches.

Christian Eriksen also trained on Wednesday, after missing van Nistelrooy’s two games in interim charge so far, as did Antony.

The Dane picked up a knock in the defeat to West Ham and was unavailable for the win over Leicester and draw with Chelsea, while Antony has been missing since our last game in the competition, the 1-1 draw with Fenerbahce.

It’s the latest fitness boost for Ruud, who was able to welcome Mason Mount back to group training earlier this week.
