Alejandro Garnacho has said that he "can't wait" to make his return to action, with the Manchester United attacker now back in first-team training for the Red Devils.
The 18-year-old has been on the sidelines since the middle of March due to the ankle injury that he suffered in the goalless draw with Southampton.
However, the Argentina Under-20s international is now back in training with Erik ten Hag's side and could potentially be involved in Thursday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.
Garnacho has said that he is "desperate to be back playing", having had his campaign interrupted.
"I'm really keen to get back playing once again," Garnacho told MUTV. "I can't wait to get back to Old Trafford and hear the fans chanting my name, it really gives me goose bumps.

"I'm desperate to be back playing. I'm back in training again, so let's see when I can be back in the stadium helping the team."
Garnacho has already helped Man United win silverware this season, with the Red Devils beating Newcastle United at the end of February to secure the EFL Cup trophy.
Ten Hag's side will face Manchester City in the final of the FA Cup at the start of June, while they are in a strong position to claim a top-four spot in the Premier League table, sitting seven points clear of fifth-placed Liverpool, with a game in hand on the Reds.
"Nobody in their life would ever have imagined me, at just 18 years old, already winning a trophy with this club, Manchester United, having helped them to achieve that as part of the team," he added.

"This really motivates me even more to want to win more things. In the end, I'm very ambitious and will not settle for having won one trophy. This season we've still got one trophy ahead of us to play for and we'll be battling for it as hard as we can.
"And we also have the target of getting into the Champions League, of course. And with my ambition and my will to win, I feel even extra motivated."
Garnacho has featured on 29 occasions for the Red Devils during the 2022-23 campaign, scoring four goals and registering five assists in the process.
However, the forward's involvement in the latter stages of the season is in doubt, as he has being named in the Argentina Under-20s squad for the Under-20s World Cup, which begins on May 20.
Garnacho recently committed his future to Man United, penning a long-term contract with the 20-time English champions until the summer of 2028.
