Manchester United centre-back Lisandro Martinez will be available for Thursday's Europa League clash with Bodo/Glimt.
Martinez was not involved in Man United's Premier League clash with Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon due to a back and hip issue which forced him to withdraw from the Argentina squad for their November fixtures.
However, the former Ajax defender was back in training on Wednesday, and Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim confirmed during his press conference that the South American would be available against Bodo/Glimt.
Harry Maguire was also back in training ahead of the Europa League clash, with the Englishman recovering from a calf issue, but Amorim has said that the experienced defender is still not available for selection.
Leny Yoro's availability is unclear, with the Frenchman back in full training over the last couple of weeks, but Man United are being cautious when it comes to the youngster, who fractured a metatarsal during pre-season.

"Not Harry, Licha is ready. He didn't stop too much time, so I feel he is ready. The situation is different to Harry's," Amorim told reporters during his press conference on Wednesday afternoon.
"He [Yoro] is training. We believe a lot of him and we are preparing the best way to start with Leny."
Amorim has also suggested that he is planning to rotate his squad on Thursday, with the match coming three days before a Premier League clash with Everton at Old Trafford.
"They [the squad] is already split. If Bruno [Fernandes] trains tomorrow, he cannot train for two days. He can only train slowly. Some of the guys will field the game, some of the guys will train the next day," he added.

Amorim "expecting a tough game" against Bodo/Glimt
Amorim also addressed the challenge facing his side on Thursday, with the Portuguese "expecting a tough game" from Bodo/Glimt, who will enter the clash off the back of a 2-0 win over Odd in the Eliteserien.
"It will be a special time. I just want to win the game. Before the match it will be like a new sensation. After the whistle, it will just be another game. We have a lot of games and we are in the beginning of something. We will try to win every game, not just focus on this game and have a clear of idea of how to play," said the manager.
"I am expecting a tough game. They run a lot and we need to improve that. They have some special players in the wings. They are winning all the time so I am expecting a very, very intense game and a good game. It will be a good game."
Man United are 15th in the Europa League table, picking up six points from their four matches, while Bodo/Glimt are 12th, with a strong campaign to date seeing them collect seven points from their four games.
