Manchester United trio of Luke Shaw, Nemanja Matic and Tuanzebe have all returned to first team training. The trio have all been on the sidelines recently, with Shaw's hamstring problem keeping him out since the third game of the season, while Tuanzebe and Matic have not featured in over a month.
They joined a first-team group at the Aon Training Complex on Wednesday, though numbers were still down due to ongoing returns from the international break.
Scott McTominay, who pulled out of the Scotland squad after taking a knock in last week's win over Brighton, did not take part, making fellow midfielder Matic's return all the more important.
Three other rehabilitating players, Eric Bailly, Timothy Fonsu-Mensah (both knee) and Diogo Dalot, were given a separate workout but are not yet ready to rejoin the squad.
Full-back Ashley Young is available at the weekend after suspension.
United have enjoyed an upturn in form in recent weeks, winning five of their last six matches in all competitions.
They recorded home and away wins over Partizan Belgrade to secure their passage into the last 32 of the UEFA Europa League and beat Chelsea 2-1 in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
In addition, wins over Norwich City and Brighton - either side of a disappointing 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth - have lifted United to seventh in the Premier League table.
