Manchester United have confirmed that Tyrell Malacia is deemed to return to on-field action next year after suffering a setback during his rehabilitation from a knee injury.
Manchester United released an official statement saying, "Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia is on course to return to action early next year as he recovers from a knee injury."
"The Dutch left-back has not played so far this season, following an operation over the summer."
"Unfortunately, he suffered a setback during his rehabilitation, which required further surgery."
"This has been completed, and Malacia is now back at Carrington and working hard to be fit early in the new year."
Malacia is back on the Carrington training ground and is expected to be back in the Erik Ten Hag squad at the beginning of 2024.
The former Feyenoord defender hasn't played a single match for Manchester United this season after an operation on the knee over the summer.
The club is looking forward to managing the injury through pain injection, but there is a need for knee surgery as recommended by the club medical staff.
Manchester United are taking caution with his injury and do not want to rush the defender back after a prolonged spell on the sidelines.
They will ease him into the team when he is deemed fit for action.
His absence was felt by Erik Ten Hag, while Luke Shaw was also sidelined for three months.
A shortage of senior players on the left back had made Manchester United sign Sergio Regulion on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.
Manchester United can terminate the Regulion contract in the January transfer window, considering Tyrell Malacia's fitness.
Regulion had made only seven appearances for Manchester United so far this season without a goal or assist for the club.
The Dutch left-back made 39 appearances last season, making a significant impact at the club.
He became Erik Ten Hag's first signing in the 2022–23 season.
