Makes bench Sunday Bailly is fit and in the match day squad to face Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Impact Bailly returns after not having made an appearance since December. The defender starts from the bench but is available if called upon.

Pictured in training Bailly (back) was on the training pitch in the lead-up to the season finale against Crystal Palace on May 22.

Impact Bailly hasn't made an appearance for the club since Dec. 30 against Burnley, in part due to his back issue. Even if named to the match-day squad, the defender is far from guaranteed to get onto the pitch, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Option going forward Bailly (ankle) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Bailly is back in the squad, his first since December because of AFCON and then an ankle injury. He remains the fourth option at center-back and probably won't make many appearances the rest of the way unless injuries come about on the back line.

Returns to first-team training Bailly (ankle) took part in Monday's training session, his first since returning from international duty.

Impact Bailly came back from international duty with Ivory Coast with an ankle problem but is back on the training pitch. Given he has just returned to training, it seems unlikely the defender will be ready to play against Brighton on Tuesday but could be in contention for a spot in the squad versus Leeds United on Sunday.

Still out against Southampton Bailly (ankle) will be unavailable versus Southampton on Saturday.

Impact Bailly will be out of action for his sixth straight contest due to both injury and international responsibilities. Even before leaving for AFCON, the defender had started just five of the club's prior 11 contests, so he is far from a lock for the starting XI even once cleared to play.

Dealing with ankle injury Bailly picked up an ankle injury while away for AFCON and will miss Friday's FA Cup match, according to manager Ralf Rangnick.

Impact Bailly isn't needed when Man United are healthy on the back line, so his absence doesn't change much. He has three league starts this season, mostly out of necessity, but with others now healthy, he'll return to his usual bench role once healthy.

Heads out for AFCON Bailly is set to join Ivory Coast ahead of the upcoming African Cup of Nations and miss the next two weeks of matches for his club.

Impact Bailly flew back to Manchester a week ago because United needed players and then he picked up an issue in a Dec. 30 start. It looks like he's healthy and ready to play in AFCON, which may end up being the most playing time he'll get all season.

Back in Manchester Bailly has returned to Manchester United ahead of Thursday's match against Burnley, reports The Sun.

Impact Bailly was already down in Ivory Coast for the African Cup of Nations, but due to other absences in the side, the team is bringing him back. That being the case, it seems like Bailly will start Thursday's match against Burnley in order to not push Raphael Varane twice in a few days.

Fares well versus Atalanta Bailly had two blocks and four interceptions and won two of two tackles and seven duels in Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Atalanta.

Impact Bailly featured for the first time in the campaign, but he had a quality display, thwarting a few dangerous actions with timely interventions. He could see an uptick of playing time since Victor Lindelof and Raphael Varane are dealing with injuries. Manchester United will face Manchester City at home Saturday.

Back from Olympics Bailly returned to training Monday after playing with Ivory Coast in the Olympics.

Impact Bailly returns to the squad Monday, but that also coincides with the introduction of Raphael Varane. It's unfortunate for Bailly, who now moves to the fourth center-back on the depth chart, meaning playing time will be hard to come by if he stays with the team.

Scores, concedes penalty in loss Bailly scored one goal and conceded a penalty during Saturday's 5-2 loss to Spain.

Impact Bailly opened the scoring in the 10th minute of the match but ended up conceding the penalty to let Spain take over the match. While close to a historic run in the competition, Bailly now finds his time at the Olympics over and he'll work his way back to Manchester United for the Premier League season.

Ends season as starter Bailly started four of the team's final five matches following the injury to Harry Maguire.

Impact Bailly didn't see much time this season, partly because of injury and also because he is the team's No. 3 center-back. He started 15 matches across league and Europa play and will hope to fight Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire for more minutes next season.
