Manchester United will be eyeing a winning start to the end-of-season run-in when they travel to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Tuesday night.
United signed off for the recent pause with a 3-0 win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, meaning they will be eyeing back-to-back league wins for the very first time this season. They sealed the points via goals from Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Burno Fernandes.
Depending on their progress in their Europa League, United could still have up to and including another 14 games left this season, meaning head coach Ruben Amorim needs as many options available to him as possible. Ahead of the clash with Forest, he has confirmed Leny Yoro and Harry Maguire are back in contention, while the wait for others to return will be a little bit longer.

With that said, here is all the very latest on the injury front ahead of the trip to the Midlands...
Altay Bayindir
Injury: unknown
Bayindir was absent for several weeks prior to the international bench, missing nine matches in total. He was last named in the matchday squad when Crystal Palace won 2-0 at Old Trafford on February 2.
He was spotted back in training in video footage shared by United on Friday, meaning he could be back on the bench for the trip to the City Ground. His return will see him move back ahead of both Dermot Mee and Elyh Harrison in the pecking order.
Possible return date: April 1 (Nottingham Forest A).
Tom Heaton
Injury: unknown
Fellow shot-stopper Heaton was also missing prior to the international break with an unspecified injury, meaning he was unable to provide cover in Bayindir's absence.
Like Bayindir, he was also spotted back in training last week, offering encouragement he will be available for the run-in. He may also be in contention for the trip to Forest.
Possible return date: April 1 (Nottingham Forest A).
Harry Maguire
Injury: unknown
Maguire was taken off ahead of the start of extra-time in the FA Cup defeat to Fulham on March 2 and missed the four subsequent fixtures. Amorim was hopeful he would have been available for the win at Leicester but he decided not to risk him.
He has trained at Carrington ahead of United's latest trip to the Midlands and he is in contention to be included in the squad against Forest.
Possible return date: April 1 (Nottingham Forest A).
Leny Yoro
Injury: unknown
Yoro was forced off at half-time against Arsenal just over three weeks ago after requiring treatment during the first half. He was unable to continue after half-time was replaced by youngster Ayden Heaven at the break.
As a result, he missed the wins over Real Sociedad and Leicester, joining Maguire on the sidelines. But like his fellow centre-back, he is back available for the trip to Forest.
Speaking at Monday's press conference, Amorim said: "Maguire is also ready to go to the game and Yoro, yes."
Possible return date: April 1 (Nottingham Forest A).
Ayden Heaven
Injury: unknown
Fellow centre-back Heaven was forced off shortly after half-time in United's win at Leicester after a coming together with Foxes attacker Patson Daka. He had to be carried off the pitch on a stretcher before later leaving the stadium wearing a protective boot.
But as reported by the Manchester Evening News during the international break, the injury is understood not to have been as serious as first feared. It is also understood he is out of the protective boot.
Although the trip to Forest will come too soon, Amorim is adamant he will play again this season.
He said: "[Heaven] was not so serious. He's recovering, he's not ready to play but he's going to return this season, for sure."
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 the start of February. He underwent successful surgery and is continuing with his recovery.
United have not put a specific timeframe on how long he will be out for, but he will not play again this season. ACL injuries usually take around six months to fully recover from.
Possible return date: August.
Jonny Evans
Injury: muscle
Evans has missed United's last 18 matches with a muscle issue he suffered back in December. He was last in the matchday squad when United lost 2-0 to Wolves at Molineux on Boxing Day.
He last made an appearance when United lost 4-3 to Spurs in the Carabao Cup on December 19. Amorim said on Monday that the Northern Irishman is "recovering".
Possible return date: unknown.
Luke Shaw
Injury: muscle
Shaw has been absent since the beginning of December. His recovery from his latest muscle issue was going well until he suffered a fresh setback after making a brief return to training at the end of January.
He was filmed back in training last week, offering encouragement he could be available for the clash with Forest, but Amorim has insisted the trip to the banks of the Trent has come too soon for him to be involved.
Amorim said: "Luke is not ready yet. We are starting to do some drills with the team but we are building Luke."
Possible return date: unknown.
Kobbie Mainoo
Injury: unknown
Mainoo suffered an unspecified injury ahead of United's 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in February and Amorim said he expected to be without the midfielder for "weeks". There has always been confidence he could return at some point in April and Amorim's latest update suggested that could be the case.
"Kobbie is almost returning but he is not ready for this game," said Amorim on Monday.
Possible return date: April.
Amad
Injury: ankle
United lost Amad to an ankle injury ahead of the defeat at Tottenham and Amorim admitted he expected to be without him for the rest of the season.
However, speaking after the draw with Real Sociedad in Spain last month, Amorim revealed he could be back in the latter stages of the campaign, offering encouragement he could still have a part to play this term.
Amorim said: "Even Amad, we will see in the end of the last month. I don't want to say anything but I have the hope to have Amad before the end of the season."
Possible return date: May.
