Pictures have emerged of Mason Mount participating in Manchester United training after a four-month absence due to a calf ιnjury. Since his £60 million transfer from Chelsea last summer, the young player has faced challenges establishing his career at Old Trafford.

Mount’s last appearance for the club was in November against Luton before he sustained his ιnjury during training. Although his return had been anticipated earlier, he encountered setbacks during his recovery process. However, recent images show him in high spirits as he trained alongside his teammates at Carrington on Tuesday.

In the photos, Mount can be seen smiling as he walks out with Diogo Dalot and Antony. He also joined in running exercises with his teammates and participated in on-ball drills, indicating that he is nearing a comeback for the Red Devils.

Manchester United confirmed the news on their official website, commending Mount for his diligent efforts to regain fitness and praising his positive attitude throughout his rehabilitation period.

When asked about Mount’s fitness, manager Erik ten Hag stated that the player is currently in a good spell and is expected to return shortly after the international break. It is likely that he will miss the FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool but could potentially be in contention for the match against Brentford on March 30.

This season has been frustrating for the 25-year-old, who was United’s first signing of last summer’s transfer window. He has only made seven starts and five appearances as a substitute.

However, there are signs of improvement in United’s ιnjury situation, as Ten Hag expects Rasmus Hojlund, Harry Maguire, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka to return for the FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool. Nonetheless, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Anthony Martial, and Tyrell Malacia remain unavailable as the manager prepares for the cup game and the final 10 Premier League fixtures of a season marred by injuries.
