Manchester United will play against Aston Villa on Sunday in the Premier League, with both teams currently tied at 51 points, occupying third and fourth places.
BBC Sport reporter Simon Stone has confirmed that veteran defender Noussair Mazraoui is expected to return this weekend after recovering from a foot injury.
This season, Mazraoui has played in various defensive positions, including left back, right back, and center back. He was part of the squad that faced Newcastle United last week, where the team suffered a 2-1 defeat. Now rested, he is ready to strengthen a defense currently challenged by injuries.
Matthijs de Ligt will be sidelined for at least a month, and Lisandro Martinez is gradually recovering. There were concerns about Mazraoui’s fitness ahead of the match against Newcastle, but he is likely to be included in the squad, though it is uncertain if he will start.
