\nTyrell Malacia is “unlikely to make his comeback before the end of season” in a major blow to Manchester United’s hopes of a strong end to a disappointing campaign.<\/p>\n

The Dutch fullback has not played a single minute this season after also being unavailable for the club’s pre-season tour of America last summer.<\/p>\n

Malacia’s last appearance for United came at the end of last season in a 2-1 win over Fulham at Old Trafford; a victory which helped Erik ten Hag’s side clinch Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n

And the Dutch manager would likely have been hoping the 24-year-old fullback would be able to play a similarly important role in this season’s run-in following the debilitating injury to Luke Shaw.<\/p>\n

Shaw was forced off the pitch just minutes into the second-half against Luton in February. It was later revealed the England international had suffered a serious hamstring problem, ruling him out until the final weeks of the season.<\/p>\n

A report by the Daily Mail<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>has now revealed Malacia is “unlikely” to feature at all in this time period either.<\/p>\n

A complicated knee injury, involving a damaged cartilage meniscus, is responsible for the former Feyenoord man’s absence this season. It has required two separate surgeries, both involving months of physical rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

At one point during this process, Malacia returned home to the Netherlands to continue with his recovery process. He has been a constant presence at Carrington – United’s training ground – in recent months, however, with the Daily Mail<\/em> describing him as “focused on getting fit for the start of next season.”<\/p>\n

On the weekend, an update emerged from Germany, detailing how Malacia was dealing with mental struggles,<\/a> alongside his physical injuries.\u00a0The\u00a0Daily Mail\u00a0<\/em>report describes this as “somewhat wide of the mark”.<\/p>\n

The English tabloid writes: “While Malacia has had to overcome the psychological challenges typically involved in any long-term rehab, the injury itself and several setbacks in his recovery are the reason he has not played at all this season.”<\/p>\n

United officials are described as “comfortable” with the approach the player’s rehabilitation process, privately acknowledging there has simply been unfortunate relapses outside of both parties’ control.<\/p>\n

Without the prospect of a healthy left-back for much of the remainder of a crucial period for United, Ten Hag’s hopes for a successful end to the season – in the form of Champions League qualification and a successful FA Cup campaign – have received a significant blow.<\/p>\n
