Eric Bailly is ready to make his first Manchester United appearance of 2017 when they host Hull City on Wednesday, Jose Mourinho has confirmed.
The centre-back missed all seven of United's January fixtures due to his Africa Cup of Nations participation with Ivory Coast.
He suffered a minor ankle injury in United's reserve game against Everton on Monday, but Mourinho revealed he is available for the upcoming clash at Old Trafford.
"Bailly is fit to face Hull," the United boss stated at a news conference, before adding that a number of players who were rested from Sunday's FA Cup meeting with Wigan Athletic will also return.
