Manchester, UK — Manchester United have received a timely boost as midfielder Mason Mount has returned to first-team training and is in contention to feature against his former club Chelsea.
Mount, who has been sidelined through injury since earlier this season, rejoined full training this week at Carrington. Sources close to the club have confirmed that the England international is available for selection ahead of United’s highly anticipated Premier League meeting with Chelsea.
The 24-year-old made the high-profile switch from Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford in the summer, but his start to life at Manchester United has been interrupted by fitness setbacks. His potential return against Chelsea adds extra intrigue, with fans eager to see how Erik ten Hag might deploy him — whether from the start or as an impact substitute.
Mount’s availability comes at a crucial time for United, who are looking to build momentum in the league. His creativity and energy in midfield could provide a much-needed spark as the Reds face a Chelsea side still adjusting under Mauricio Pochettino.
The clash at Old Trafford is expected to be a lively encounter, with Mount’s presence adding another layer of drama to an already high-stakes fixture.
