Manchester United welcomed back Alejandro Garnacho from an ankle injury this weekend against West Ham.
MEN Sport revealed on Sunday morning Garnacho had joined the rest of the United squad on the plane to London for the Hammers clash. The Argentine was an unused substitute as the Reds lost 1-0 to David Moyes' side.
Unfortunately for Erik ten Hag, the teenager was the only player he could welcome back from the treatment table last week but he will be hopeful of another big boost ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers' visit to Old Trafford. The Manchester Evening News has round-up the latest from the Carrington injury room.

Raphael Varane
Injury: Ankle
Potential return date: May 13 vs Wolves
What Ten Hag has said: "Prognosis: Rapha is closer than Scott McTominay in this moment but still for the coming two games [West Ham and Wolves] they are not available." MEN Sport understands United hope Varane will be fit for Wolves despite Ten Hag's cautious approach in the press conference.
Scott McTominay
Injury: Unknown
Potential return date: Unknown
What McTominay has said: Despite missing the last seven matches, it is unclear when the central midfielder will be returning for United. Before the Brighton and Hove Albion defeat, the Scot posted an image of himself performing stretches on social media with the caption: "Soon." But, Ten Hag thinks he is further from a return than Varane.
Tom Heaton
Injury: Ankle
Potential return date: Unknown
What Heaton has said: Back in March, the reserve goalkeeper explained: "Yeah, unfortunately the day before the Fulham game I rolled my ankle in training. Thankfully, it’s not too bad but it’ll mean a couple of weeks out, I think. I should be back some point in April somewhere, hopefully halfway through." Since then, Heaton has not been on the bench for United.
Lisandro Martinez
Injury: Foot
Potential return date: Pre-season
What Martinez has said: In April, the defender released an update following surgery. "Everything went really well, thanks to God! Many thanks for all of your messages. Now focusing on the recovery."
Donny van de Beek
Injury: Knee
Potential return date: Pre-season
What Van de Beek has said: "Everything is going up now, I feel much better and I am on a good road now. I have to eat a lot of protein as well to recover - I have to eat well for my knee. Football is a big part of your life and you enjoy it every day with your teammates. And if you have to miss that, I try to see it now in a positive way. I am just getting closer every day to being on the pitch again and I can't wait to be back."
