Five Reds back in training before Forest

Our cameras at Carrington have captured the good news, with Ruben Amorim's squad looking in a healthier place, in advance of the resumption of domestic duties with the City Ground encounter against third-placed Forest.

Three of the returnees are defenders - Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro.

Maguire last appeared in the Emirates FA Cup game against Fulham earlier this month, while Shaw has been sidelined since December's 4-0 win over Everton.

Yoro has only missed the last two matches, convincing victories over both Real Sociedad, in the Europa League, and Leicester City in the Premier League.

There is also a positive update on the goalkeeping front.

Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton have both been absent recently but they were spotted working back with the group again on Friday morning.

Amorim and his coaching staff will continue preparing the squad, in readiness for our first of seven fixtures in April.

With a Manchester derby at Old Trafford and the two-legged Europa League quarter-final against Lyon to also look forward to, this latest bulletin from our base is definitely a welcome one, as we embrace challenges at home and abroad.
