Jose Mourinho confirms double injury boost for West Ham game

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho have confirmed the return of two key first-team players ahead of tonight's Premier League meeting against West Ham United.

The Red Devils were without both Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku during the recent 1-0 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion but the former has recovered from his knock ahead of the Hammers game.

Aside from the Chilean, Phil Jones has also returned to first-team training, though Marouane Fellaini (muscular injury) and Lukaku (ankle) remain on the sidelines.

"In terms of injuries, it’s Lukaku and Fellaini. They are the two players who are not available for tomorrow [Thursday]. [Phil] Jones is back, Sanchez is back and there are no more problems," he said.

Manchester United require just a solitary point to secure the second spot in the standings and Mourinho will be hoping that his side can achieve the feat against West Ham in order to rest his first-team regulars for the FA Cup final.
