Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been pictured back out on the training pitch.
The defender has been sidelined for the best part of two months, having last played in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham in mid-January.
Fans on X are delighted to see that Wan-Bissaka could be available for selection soon, having spent so long on the treatment table:

Wan-Bissaka is not the only player nearing a comeback
Mason Mount joined Wan-Bissaka on the grass at Carrington on Tuesday, which suggests that the former Chelsea player will be ready to make his comeback shortly.
The England international has been out for even longer than Wan-Bissaka, having last played for the first team in November. He has been struggling to overcome a calf problem in recent months.
Which United players will be in contention to face Liverpool?
We will need confirmation from manager Erik ten Hag about the progress that Wan-Bissaka and Mount are making on their road back to fitness so their availability for the FA Cup quarter-final tie on Sunday is still in doubt. The former is thought to be likelier to be in contention than the latter.
In terms of other players, Harry Maguire is expected to be ready to take on Liverpool, and there is optimism that Rasmus Hojlund will make the matchday squad as well.
