Regains full fitness
Mount is completely recovered from an undisclosed injury and will be an option for extended time on the field following a brief appearance at Bournemouth, with coach Michael Carrick saying "Mason's in and around it as well, in training and he's had that period of time to build that up.", the team announced Wednesday.
Analysis: Mount will aim to see an increased role in the final weeks of the campaign as long as he remains healthy. In that case, he'll threaten Amad Diallo's involvement and perhaps Kobbie Mainoo's in a more defensive spot. Prior to the issue which sidelined him for two months, Mount scored three goals over 18 matches played considering all competitions.
Late call to face Villa
Mount (undisclosed) is an option for Sunday's match against Aston Villa, according to manager Michael Carrick. "Mason's back with the group, which is fantastic. He's an important player for us, Mason, and to have him back and involved is a good step for us, definitely. He's not, you know, 100 percent in terms of [being] back because he's only trained a very small amount of time, but he's back and that's good for us. So, we'll see if he's involved or not on Sunday, but yeah, it's a big step for him, but we're happy with that. Yeah, that's it in terms of players coming back for now."
Analysis: Mount has been working on a recovery for about five weeks now and is finally nearing his return, with the midfielder joining the group and now a late call to play Sunday. He will likely be held to some testing to decide if he can play, a huge addition back for the team if he is passed fit. However, he is not yet fully healthy, likely to earn a bench spot to test his legs in his return.
