Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana will be recalled for the side’s Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon, manager Ruben Amorim has said.
The Cameroon international was left out of United’s squad for the 4-1 defeat by Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday, with Turkey international Altay Bayindir deputising.
Onana, 29, was to blame for the two goals that United conceded in their 2-2 draw against Lyon in the first leg.
But Amorim says the former Inter Milan goalkeeper will be recalled for the tie at Old Trafford on Thursday (20:00 BST).
“As a coach and former player first of all I try to do things that can help a player in this situation,” said Amorim.
“We speak about managing players physically but we also have to manage them also mentally.
“We had one weekend where I felt it was better for Andre Onana not to play and a good thing for Altay [Bayindir] to play.
“He (Onana) will play tomorrow.”
