Manchester United injury news: Martial, Smalling and Darmian could return for Watford clash

Comeback trail: Martial could return in time for tomorrow's match
Simon Peach1 March 2016

Anthony Martial, Chris Smalling and Matteo Darmian could make their returns in Manchester United's Barclays Premier League clash with Watford.

A glum mood around Old Trafford has been lifted by three wins in the space of a week, despite being hampered by a lengthy injury list.

Those problems could be partly alleviated when Watford visit on Wednesday, though, with Louis van Gaal revealing Martial, Smalling and Darmian could return.

"(Marouane) Fellaini and (Antonio) Valencia are the first ones to come back, I think, except of course Martial, Smalling and Darmian," the Dutchman said.

Player Ratings: Manchester United vs Arsenal

"They are coming back and may be ready tomorrow - it depends on how they feel tomorrow.

"But the chance is there that one of these three players (can) already play, but Fellaini shall come in the last step to the process of team training.

"And also Valencia, for the first time today has trained with the group, so they are coming back. (Wayne) Rooney is still in a brace."
