Tuanzebe, Dalot, Fosu-Mensah, Bailly - Manchester United injury news latest and expected return dates

Manchester United have a number of crucial players, that are possible to miss the Christmas period games. Last week the Red Devils greeted their long-term absent Paul Pogba again on action against Watford in the Premier League. However, there are players, still carrying a treatment for a comeback. Axel Tuanzebe was substituted from the game, after limping off during the Colchester win. He didn't play in Watford defeat and is unlikely to take part in Newcastle fixture on Boxing Day. The club boss Ole Gunnar Solksjaer has not given an injury update on the centre back. Diogo Dalot is believed to play in the starting squad after showing an impressive game during United U19s fixture against AC Milan last week. "Diogo is playing tonight in the game for the youngsters [against AC Milan on Friday night], from then on he's ready," Solskjaer said after the game. He is suggested to be on the action for Newcastle clash on the Boxing Day. Marcos Rojo was out of the game since withdrawing from international duty with Argentina. His current injury hasn't been made public, and even if he wasn't the first choice this season, he would likely take part in the upcoming match-day squad. Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Eric Bailly continue their recovery from knee injuries. Both players haven't feature for the first-team this season. However, it doesn't interfere with the duo regularly train at Carrington. The duo is likely to be back for the late December matches. Speaking on the player's return dates, Solksjaer told: "We're getting players back, we're getting Paul [Pogba], Diogo [Dalot], Eric [Bailly], Tim [Fosu-Mensah] back, so that's four extra bodies back for us in the coming months Eric, Tim and Paul probably need a little more time."
