Ella Toone is scheduled to return to first-team training on Friday, according to Manchester United. The England midfielder has not featured for the club since January due to a calf injury. Manager Marc Skinner confirmed that Toone will be assessed following the session to determine if she can travel to London for the Women's Super League fixture.
United face Tottenham Hotspur at Leyton Orient's Brisbane Road on Sunday. Toone's potential return follows a 15-week absence from competitive action. Skinner stated the medical staff will monitor her reaction to the training load before making a final decision on her involvement, per The Guardian.
Manchester United currently occupy fifth place in the table following a 2-2 draw against Brighton in their previous outing, according to Sky Sports. Tottenham sit sixth in the standings. Skinner reported no other fresh injury concerns for the squad ahead of the weekend trip. The match is scheduled to kick off at 14:00 BST.
