Manchester United receive huge Leny Yoro boost as squad confirmed vs Arsenal

Leny Yoro is set to be included in Manchester United's squad to face Arsenal at The Emirates.

Speaking on Monday evening, Ruben Amorim said Yoro would possibly make the squad and revealed the youngster was in a "good moment" and "his fitness was better."

It can now be confirmed that Yoro travelled down to London on Tuesday afternoon and is set to be involved, which will represent his first inclusion in a United matchday squad.

Yoro fractured his metatarsal during the pre-season tour of the United States and that injury meant he spent the first few months of the season on the sidelines. He has been carefully handled during his recovery and United have not rushed his return to decrease the chances of a repeat injury.

United announced the signing of Yoro from Lille €62m (£51.8m), with an additional €8m (£6.6) in add-ons, in July and he impressed in his first appearance of pre-season against Rangers.

Yoro was described as a "special talent" and "really fast" by Amorim at his pre-Arsenal press conference but United's new head coach warned he would continue to be handled carefully.

Meanwhile, young defender Godwill Kukonki has also been pictured in the travelling squad but there was no sign of Luke Shaw or Noussair Mazraoui among the travelling party.

Amorim sealed his first win in the Premier League against Everton on Sunday and United won in emphatic fashion after a brace from each of Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee.

Rashford is back in strong goalscoring form and will be hoping to retain his starting role, but United will be without Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo through suspension.

Martinez and Mainoo both picked up their fifth yellow cards of the season against Everton, which means they will serve a one-match suspension and not be available on Wednesday night.

Confirmed squad members for Arsenal:

Goalkeepers: Onana, Bayindir, Heaton.

Defenders: Maguire, De Ligt, Dalot, Yoro, Malacia, Kukonki.

Midfielders: Ugarte, Eriksen, Fernandes, Mount, Casemiro.

Attackers: Rashford, Antony, Hojlund, Zirkzee, Amad, Garnacho
