Erik ten Hag gets Manchester United team news boost vs Copenhagen as he gives injury update

Sergio Reguilon is in contention to return to the Manchester United side against Copenhagen in the Champions League.

Reguilon has been sidelined since September 23 with a hamstring problem but resumed team training last week.

The left-back was not included in the matchday squad against Sheffield United on Saturday and Victor Lindelof continued at left-back.

Specialist left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are sidelined until later this year and Reguilon has missed the last five games.

"Yes we hope," United manager Erik ten Hag said when asked if any players would return. "I said it also last Friday, Sergio for Friday, he was fit, trained all last week and yesterday he was part of training and today he will train and we have to assess if he is ready and game fit and can be involved in the squad.

"We have to see if he is fit enough to be available."

Some thought Ten Hag's pronunciation of 'Sergio' sounded like 'Sancho' but United confirmed Ten Hag was referring to the Spaniard and not the exiled winger.

Shaw, Malacia, Lisandro Martinez and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are all still unavailable. Casemiro is suspended but Raphael Varane could start after he was named on the bench for the win at Sheffield United.

United lost their first two Champions League games and, after the visit of Copenhagen on Tuesday, face two away games in the reverse leg and at Galatasaray.

"We have to win every game," Ten Hag reiterated. "If you lose the first two games, you have to win."
