De Ligt, Dalot and Heaven - Manchester United injury news and return dates ahead of West Ham clash
A look at the latest injury situation at Manchester United ahead of the visit of West Ham
Manchester United welcome West Ham United to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon as they return to Premier League action.
Ruben Amorim's side booked their place in the Europa League final on Thursday with a 4-1 win over Athletic Bilbao and they have two league games to get through before taking on Tottenham in the final in 10 days' time.
The first of those is the visit of the Hammers as United look to build up some momentum heading into their European final in Bilbao but they will face Graham Potter's side without some key men through injury.
Here's a look at the current United injury situation.
Diogo Dalot
Injury: calf
Dalot has missed the last four games after head coach Ruben Amorim confirmed he had suffered a muscle injury in the 1-0 defeat to Wolves last month.
As a result, Amorim said the right-back will miss United's upcoming matches, and it remains to be seen if he will feature again this season.
Speaking almost a fortnight ago, Amorim said: "He has something in his muscle, his calf, he had a sequence of games, he played all the time, we try to manage but the players play a lot of minutes and not so ready to cope with that. Dalot felt something.
"We don't know how long he's going to be out. But he's out for these next games."
Possible return date: unknown.
Matthijs de Ligt
Injury: knee
Making his first start since recovering from an ankle injury, De Ligt was forced off 35 minutes into United's 4-3 defeat to Brentford on Sunday with a suspected knee problem.
Amorim confirmed on Wednesday that as well as missing Thursday's win over Athletic Bilbao, he would also be missing for the visit of the Hammers
Amorim said: "It is not a big issue. That is a good thing. He cannot play tomorrow and he'll not play on Sunday but then we'll check day by day."
Possible return date: May 16 (Chelsea A).
Ayden Heaven
Injury: knock
After missing United's first three games after the March international break, Heaven returned to the squad against Newcastle United on April 13, being named on the bench
However, he has not featured in any of United's matchday squads since then after suffering a "small setback", according to club sources.
He was spotted training individually during the open session United hosted at Carrington on Wednesday morning and Amorim later confirmed he remains unavailable for selection.
Possible return date: unknown.
Lisandro Martinez
Injury: anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
Martinez is a long-term absentee after rupturing his ACL in United's 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford at the beginning of February. He soon underwent successful surgery and is well underway with his recovery.
United have not put a specific timeframe on how long he will be out for, but he will not feature again this side of the summer. ACL injuries usually take around six months to fully recover from.
Possible return date: August.
Toby Collyer
Injury: leg
"Toby has a small issue in his leg," said Amorim, speaking recently. "We hope to have him in a few weeks."
He was spotted training at Carrington last week, albeit away from the main group, offering signs that his recovery is going well. However, it remains to be seen when he will next be available for selection.
Possible return date: unknown.
Joshua Zirkzee
Injury: hamstring.
Zirkzee was forced off with a hamstring injury in United's 4-1 defeat to Newcastle. He pulled up sharply and required medical attention before leaving the pitch.
He was able to walk off the field, but he required help from two members of the United medical team. Unfortunately, he will now miss the remainder of the season.
"Joshua is out for the season, so he's not going to play any more this season," Amorim said. "Let's prepare him for the next one."
Possible return date: pre-season.
