Impact Lindelof stepped up every time one of the other defenders was unavailable, which was often the case with Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire. The Sweden international is expected to have a backup role in 2024/25 once again, but he should be a reliable presence on the defensive line.

Impact Lindelof has missed each of Manchester United's last nine games across all competitions, and even if he ends up being available, it wouldn't be surprising if he starts the game on the bench due to his lack of recent first-team minutes. Lindelof's most recent appearance came on March 30 against Brighton in a 1-1 draw.

Impact Lindelof could be in line to return for the season finale. However, he will still have to see a decent boost in fitness as he just began to train on grass. This will leave him as a late call for Sunday, likely needing a fitness test to decide his availability. With his health still in doubt, he will likely serve off the bench if he is an option.

Set for month out Lindelof (hamstring) will miss a month with a hamstring injury, Manchester United announced.

Impact Lindelof is set for a month on the sideline with the hamstring issue he picked up against Brentford. The defender will only be back for the final match or two of the season, likely opening the door for Jonny Evans to take on a larger role in the first team in the coming matches.

Picks up issue Lindelof limped off against Brentford and is a doubt for Thursday's trip to Chelsea.

Impact Lindelof has started four matches in a row but he could be sidelined for an important clash with Brentford. The defender would be a major loss if he's not available, especially with Raphael Varane also in doubt. Jonny Evans could play a larger role if Lindelof is ruled out.

Limps off Lindelof was substituted late on in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Fulham and was seen limping as he made his way down the tunnel.

Impact Lindelof has been filling in at left-back with both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia both out with long-term injuries. Despite being in obvious discomfort as he left the field, there have been no reports of an injury. We may learn more in Eric Ten-Hag's presser ahead of the mid-week FA Cup clash versus Nottingham.

On bench Sunday Lindelof (groin) is available from the bench for Sunday's match against West Ham.

Impact Lindelof made his return to team training earlier in the week and could be back Sunday if he can continue recovering quickly. Getting Lindelof back would be a nice boon especially after Lisandro Martinez picked up a knock against Wolves. Lindelof started four-of-five matches before picking up the long-term groin issue.

Impact Lindelof looks to be nearing a return to play, having trained for the first time this week since going down on Dec. 6 with a groin injury against Chelsea. The defender most likely still won't be ready for around another week, definitely not being an option against Wolves on Thursday while being in doubt for Sunday's match against West Ham. When he does return, expect the player to gain back his starting role within the first couple of matches of being healthy, as he has started in 13 of the 16 contests he has been available for this season.

Not ready to play Lindelof (groin) will not be an option versus Wolverhampton on Thursday.

Impact Lindelof had returned to the training pitch and was expected to be an option for Thursday's matchup but will have to wait at least one more match.

Back on training pitch Lindelof (groin) is back in training and expected to be an option going forward.

Impact Lindelof had surgery to address a groin issue in December and looks to be an option again. United are suddenly almost full strength after dealing with numerous defensive injuries the last few months. That means minutes are far from guaranteed for Lindelof, especially after Harry Maguire took up a surprising starting role prior to his injury.

Option activated Lindelof's one year contract extension with Manchester United was activated, the club announced.

Impact Lindelof will be with United through the end of the 2024/25 season after his one year contract extension was activated. The defender has taken a major role in the backline in 2023/24 with 16 appearances and 13 starts in all competitions. When everyone is fit Lindelof could be more of a depth option, but he's shown enough to have his contract extended at least.

Out for final UCL match Lindelof (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's match against Bayern Munich.

Impact Lindelof is not in the team sheet for United on Tuesday, as he was facing a late fitness test heading into the match and has appeared to not pass after being left out. His exclusion makes way for a return, as Raphael Varane is paired up with Harry Maguire in the middle of the defense with Lindelof being out. They will hope to have the Swedish defender return by Sunday's match against Liverpool, as that will be the first match with all of their central defenders healthy at one time this season.

Impact Lindelof had featured in four of his last five outings before missing Saturday's matchup with Bournemouth due to his knock. The central defender has been training with the side ahead of Tuesday's contest but it remains to be seen if he will be deemed fit enough.

Scores winner against Luton Town Lindelof scored a goal off his lone shot, made one tackle, three clearances, one interception and one block during Saturday's 1-0 win over Luton Town.

Impact Lindelof was solid defensively when called into action but his biggest contribution definitely came on the other end as he scored the lone goal of the match just before the hour mark with a one-timed shot after picking up a partial clearance from an opposing defender. This was the first goal of the season for the center-back, who profiles to be a starter for the foreseeable future, especially with Lisandro Martinez set to be out at least until mid-January.

Impact Lindelof looks poised to rejoin the squad after missing out versus Fulham on Saturday. In his last five outings, including four starts, the central defender recorded one assist, nine clearances and six interceptions.

Dealing with illness Lindelof is a doubt for Saturday's trip to Fulham due to illness, according to manager Erik Ten Hag."From illness, We have to see if he is ready for tomorrow."

Impact Lindelof is dealing with an illness that could put him in doubt Saturday. Raphael Varane is reportedly fit once more, so if Lindelof can't go it would likely be Varane who returns directly into the starting XI for Saturday's clash.
