Matthijs de Ligt, defender of Manchester United, has returned to training following rumors that his career could be in jeopardy due to injury.
The 26-year-old had made a strong start to what later turned into a difficult season before being sidelined for the past five months because of a back injury. His last appearance came after contributing to United’s 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace.
De Ligt has not featured in the squad since Michael Carrick took charge, with the United coach previously admitting there was no guarantee the Dutch defender would return before the end of the season.
On Friday, De Ligt was seen in photos performing individual drills on the pitch as he continues his rehabilitation program under the supervision of the club’s medical staff.
The injury, which occurred in late November, kept him out of action for months, but the defender is now working hard to regain full fitness.
Wearing the number 4 shirt, he remains focused on his recovery, although no official timeline has been set for his return to competitive matches.
