Fit for bench Heaven (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Heaven went down with a knock during the international break with the England U21s, but is making his return to the team sheet Sunday, with the defender immediately finding his way back to the bench. He will likely remain in a depth role moving forward and not see major playing time, only appearing once off the bench for three minutes this campaign.

Impact Heaven looks to have picked up a knock while serving with the England U20s, going down in the first minute before he eventually was subbed off at halftime of Friday's match due to the injury. This is a rough development for the defender, who was trending to be involved in their next match, as the defender has only appeared once for three minutes all season, mainly going unused. The good news is that after playing the rest of the first half, his issues appear to be minor, potentially still leaving him as an option to face Liverpool on Sunday.

Exits injured Heaven was forced off in the 66th minute of Sunday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa due to an apparent injury.

Impact Heaven saw the start Sunday but wouldn't last the full 90, with the defender leaving the field in the 66th minute due to an apparent injury. This is a tough blow for the player after he only appeared in two games since the start of April due to an injury, barely seeing the field to end the campaign. He ends his league season starting in two of his four appearances, registering four tackles, four interceptions and 10 clearances.

Plays nine minutes Heaven (foot) appeared off the bench for nine minutes during Friday's 1-0 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Heaven returned to the playing field in a bit of a surprise Friday, with the defender seeing the bench. However, he would see some playing time, appearing late in the match for nine minutes of play. This is good news for the Red Devils, as they continue to gain back more options as they head into the UEL final.

MAY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still not training Heaven (foot) is doubtful for Friday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Ruben Amorim. "I don't know if they are going to be available."

Impact Heaven has not featured since March due to an injury, and that looks likely to remain the same heading into Friday, as he is yet to train. That said, he will likely not be an option again. The club does have their UEL final on May 21 against Tottenham, so he will hope to be fit by then.

Impact Heaven continues to struggle with a foot injury and isn't back in training yet. The defender won't be an option until he can get back in full team training, and even when he does that he will likely remain largely a depth selection.

Not training Wednesday Heaven (foot) isn't training with the team on Wednesday due to a small setback from his injury, according to Simon Stone of BBC Sport.

Impact Heaven suffered a minor setback with his foot injury and was not seen in team training on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's second leg against Lyon in the Europa League. His absence is not expected to impact the starting lineup since he has mostly been used as a bench option this season.

On bench Sunday Heaven (foot) is among the substitutes for Sunday's matchup against Newcastle.

Impact Heaven wasn't expected to be available yet, but it seems he's fit enough for a bench role. Despite making a couple of starts in March, the 18-year-old is unlikely to see a lot of action in the near future, providing depth behind Noussair Mazraoui, Victor Lindelof, Leny Yoro and Harry Maguire.

APRIL 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could return to training soon Heaven (foot) could return to training after the international week, according to Alex James and Tyrone Marshall of The Manchester Evening News.

Impact Heaven left the win over Leicester City with what appeared to be a serious injury, but further tests revealed that the injury wasn't as complicated as initially expected. The young defender, who's making his way into the first team this season, could be back in training in the coming days, meaning he should be an option to add depth on defense before the end of the 2024/25 season.

Impact Heaven was in the starting squad for the second match in a row, delivering a solid performance at a young age for the Red Devils before being forced off right after halftime on Sunday due to heavy pain. He will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of his injury. If he misses time and depending on the injury situation in the backline, Noussair Mazraoui could see more starts in the back three.
