Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho has been pictured back in football boots following his injury.
Garnacho has been sidelined since picking up an ankle issue against Southampton towards the start of March.
It was initially thought the teenager’s injury was a small one, but United boss Erik ten Hag confirmed it was in fact worse than first feared and he would be due a spell on the sidelines.
He has, though, shared a post on his Instagram account of his pink boots at United’s Carrington training ground with the caption ‘back with the boots.’
It’s unclear when he will return to action, but an imminent return would be welcomed by United at this stage of the season.

The injury list is growing for United, it’s latest addition Marcel Sabitzer, who pulled up during the warm-up before his side’s win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Also absent is star man Marcus Rashford, alongside first choice central defensive pairing Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez and left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
Ten Hag, however, is hopeful Shaw and Rashford in particular will return to action sooner rather than later, though Martinez has been ruled out for the rest of the season.
The forward has scored two goals in 15 appearances in the Premier League for United this season
The 18-year-old had broken into United’s first-team this year under the guidance of Erik ten Hag and has scored two goals in 15 appearances for United in the Premier League.
He limped off in United’s 0-0 draw against Southampton after a firm but fair sliding tackle from Kyle Walker-Peters.
Garnacho, who had come on as a substitute in the 73rd minute, seemed in agony on the Old Trafford pitch after the challenge on 82 minutes but played on for a further eight before being taken off in the final minute.
But he’s now nearing a recovery nd could make it back in time for United’s run in towards the end of the season.
