Bailly was pictured training in the gym last week, as was Luke Shaw, and this was the first time he has been seen with the rest of the squad in group training in more than a month.

The Ivory Coast international got injured on duty with his country in October.

Mason Greenwood and Paul Pogba were also present after missing the weekend win over West Bromwich Albion.

Marcos Rojo was also present, although he will be ineligible for Tuesday’s game as he is not in the Champions League squad.

Odion Ighalo featured too. He may make the bench, with an extra two substitutes permitted for Champions League matches.
