is ‘back on the pitch’ and on course to return to action before the end of the season, has confirmed.

The Argentine has missed the last six weeks of action since injuring his ankle in a 0-0 draw with Southampton at Old Trafford on March 12th.

Garnacho has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign at the Theatre of Dreams this season and United could have done with the Argentine during ’s recent absence.

United can consolidate a place in the top four by beating on Thursday but Ten Hag says the game will come too soon for Garnacho.

However, it is June’s FA Cup final that the Argentine will be aiming for and the Dutchman says Garnacho is making progress.

‘Garnacho is back on the pitch but he’s not ready for the game tomorrow,’ Ten Hag told reporters today.

The winger is likely to be out for another fortnight as he steps up his recovery from the ankle problem.

United are sweating on the fitness of Bruno Fernandes for their trip to north London but Ten Hag says there’s no other short-term absentees.

‘Bruno, we have to wait,’ said Ten Hag.

‘He is obviously a question mark. He had a big kick in the first half but he played the game, over 90 minutes, and even in extra-time. But then he went off.

‘We’ve all seen. He’s not excluded for tomorrow but he is a question mark.’
