Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot has returned to training following a hamstring injury.
However, according to Manchester Evening News, the right-back could feature against Crystal Palace this weekend.
United midfielder Bruno Fernandes said: 'Diogo is training also with us and will probably be fully fit really soon and that is really good because the manager has more options.'
Dalot started the season impressively and featured prominently for Erik ten Hag's side.

After suffering a hamstring injury while representing Portugal at the World Cup, Dalot wasn't available when United's season resumed.
He eventually returned to action against Bournemouth on January 3 but hasn't played since the game against Charlton on January 10. Dalot's last start for United in the Premier League came against Aston Villa in November.
In Dalot's absence Aaron Wan-Bissaka has stepped up for United, so it could be an intriguing battle between the pair for a regular starting berth.

Given that they have games coming up in the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and the Europa League, there should be plenty of opportunities for both players.
United are currently in fourth place in the Premier League, eleven points behind leaders Arsenal having played a game more.
Dalot watched from the directors' box at Old Trafford as United sealed their place in the Carabao Cup final with a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
The 23-year-old will be looking to win his first silverware as a United player in the final against Newcastle.
