Eric Bailly is back in Manchester United training after recovering from coronavirus.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had revealed that the centre-back – who was an unused substitute in Cote d’Ivoire’s last Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Ethiopia – was yet to return to England and would be unavailable for selection.
“Unfortunately he won't be with us for a little while,” Solskjaer was quoted by the club website.
“He’s been away with Ivory Coast and he tested positive with Covid and he’s not back in the country yet.”
As a result of that, the 27-year-old has missed the Red Devils’ last five fixtures against Brighton and Hove Albion, Granada [away], Tottenham Hotspur, Granada [home] and Burnley.
However, the former Espanyol and Villarreal star gave an update on the latest development concerning his fitness on social media.
“Back to training. Excited to be back with the team very soon. Thanks for all the concern and support messages after being diagnosed with Covid,” Bailly tweeted.
This news is a massive boost for the Old Trafford giants who are preparing to face Leeds United in Sunday’s Premier League clash.
Undefeated in their last five games in all competitions, United would be hoping to continue with their impressive run against Marcelo Bielsa’s men at Elland Road. (Goal)
