Hojlund and Mount return to Manchester United training after injuries

Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount have made their return to Manchester United's first-team training after recovering from injuries sustained earlier in the season. Hojlund, a 21-year-old forward, has been sidelined since July due to a hamstring injury incurred during a pre-season match against Arsenal. Meanwhile, Mount, 25, missed several matches after suffering a hamstring injury in a defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion last month, where he was substituted at halftime. Prior to his injury, Mount had participated in the first two Premier League matches of the season, contributing to the team's efforts against Fulham and Brighton. His absence from the squad also meant he missed crucial matches against Liverpool, Southampton, and Barnsley. Despite his injury setbacks, Mount had been working diligently over the summer to improve his physical condition, aiming for a strong start to the new campaign. The return of both players is a significant boost for Manchester United as they prepare for upcoming fixtures, including a match against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on September 21. Following that, they will kick off their Europa League campaign at home against FC Twente four days later. However, the team still faces challenges, as defenders Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia remain unavailable due to their own injuries. The successful recovery of Hojlund and Mount could play a pivotal role in enhancing the team's performance as they navigate through a demanding schedule ahead.
