Impact Sanches will not have to deal with another game on the sidelines due to his thigh issues, as he is back on the team sheet Monday, lining up on the bench.

Impact Sanches makes his return to the team sheet Monday, ending an injury absence that has left him out six straight matches. The midfielder has earned minimal time this season, mainly serving off the bench while getting starts here and there, so he should be expected to continue on the bench in most matches from this point on. He still should see normal minutes as a substitute, but expect those to come in short periods, earning 20-30 minutes at the end of matches.

Suffers ankle injury Sanches rolled his ankle in training and will be unavailable against Atalanta on Sunday, Jose Mourinho announced.
Impact Sanches might be forced to skip more matches depending on the severity of the problem. He hasn't played much lately, but his presence would have been helpful since Evan N'Dicka and Houssem Aouar left for AFCON and Leandro Paredes is iffy.
