If what the doctor said about his injury is true then congratulations”: Manchester United’s coach Ruben Amorim has revealed an exciting Ayden Heaven’s injury update with returning date revealed

Manchester United youngster Ayden Heaven is expected to return sooner than initially feared after suffering a foot injury last weekend, journalist Laurie Whitwell has revealed.

The 18-year-old defender looks set to avoid a lengthy spell on the sidelines after being stretchered off on his full Premier League debut against Leicester on Sunday.

While there is no definitive prognosis yet on Heaven’s return date, there is hope that the former Arsenal starlet will be out for weeks rather than months.
He could reportedly rejoin Ruben Amorim’s first-team squad before the end of the season, despite initial concerns over a long-term absence.

Heaven’s return anticipated this season

Whitwell, speaking on the Inside United podcast, revealed that Heaven has likely avoided a serious injury and could return to action in a few weeks:

There’s been no definitive prognosis made. I would want to urge precaution on kind of coming out definitively, but I certainly think that there is hope that it’s going to be weeks rather than months.

I would think [we will see him again this season], just based on everything that I’m hearing.

But like I say, they’re still waiting for the absolute diagnosis, but I think it’s a lot more positive than the original fears.”
Heaven joined United from Arsenal in January and was quickly integrated into the first-team squad by Amorim, who has already handed the youngster four appearances this season amid an injury crisis.
The Red Devils lost Lisandro Martinez to a season-ending injury in February, while Leny Yoro and Harry Maguire also missed last weekend’s 3-0 win over Leicester.

Amorim fielded a back three of Heaven, Matthijs de Ligt and Victor Lindelof on Sunday, and had youngster Tyler Fredricson as his only centre-back option on the bench.

United are 13th in the Premier League with nine games remaining and face Nottingham Forest away after the international break.

Manchester United’s 18-year-old defender, Ayden Heaven, is expected to return to action sooner than initially feared after suffering a foot injury during his full Premier League debut against Leicester City. Heaven was stretchered off following a collision with Leicester’s Patson Daka, raising concerns about a potential long-term absence.

However, recent updates have been encouraging. Heaven expressed optimism about his recovery on social media, stating, “Thank you guys for all the support! I have read all your messages and I’m doing really well and recovering fast.”

Manager Ruben Amorim acknowledged the need for further evaluation but noted that the injury might be less severe than initially thought. The international break provides additional recovery time, increasing the likelihood of Heaven rejoining the squad before the season concludes.

Heaven’s timely return would bolster United’s defense, especially with ongoing injury challenges affecting key players like Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro, and Harry Maguire. His performances since joining from Arsenal in January have been promising, and a swift recovery would be a significant boost for the team.
