Back on training pitch Depay (strain) was viewed on the training with Wednesday ahead of Sunday's match against Celta Vigo.

Impact Depay appears to be closing in on his return, as he was spotted on the training pitch Wednesday. However, it is unclear if he was individually training or with the team, leaving a little uncertainty about his current status. Either way, this is positive news for the forward, as he will now look to reach full fitness before Sunday's match.

Set for three to four weeks out Depay is set to miss the next three to four weeks due to a muscle injury in his left leg, Issac Suarez and David G. Medina of Marca.com reported.

Impact Depay is once again heading back to the sidelines for an extended period, as he has suffered an injury that will leave him out for around a month after already 12 games earlier this season due to a different complication. This will leave the forward out for the club's highly important UCL matches against Dortmund over the next two weeks. Luckily, it shouldn't affect the club too much, as he has only started in nine of his 23 appearances this season. However, it will still be a decent loss in depth, with Angel Correa most likely seeing more time now due to Depay's absence.
