Martial and Evans back to Man Utd training ahead of Palace trip

Manchester United's squad has been boosted by the return to training of Anthony Martial and Jonny Evans, who have both recovered from their respective injuries. The defender has been sidelined since suffering a minor injury in the defeat to Chelsea in early April, while the French striker has been out since undergoing surgery on a groin injury in January. 

However, the Mancunian club have not confirmed in an official statement released on social media whether both players will be healthy enough to be included in the squad for the trip to London to face Crystal Palace.

"The Reds are preparing for the Premier League match against Crystal Palace on Monday night and the ranks have been swelled by the reappearance of Jonny Evans and Anthony Martial. We will hear from manager Erik ten Hag later on Thursday, as it remains to be seen if they will be fit enough to make the travelling squad for London," reads the statement. 

Ten Hag's side still have a chance of qualifying for European competition as they sit sixth on 44 points, just three behind Tottenham, who have a game in hand, so claiming victory at Selhurst Park is crucial for the Mancunian club.
