Ella Toone Injury: Manchester United’s Star to Return Post-International Break

Manchester United and England supporters have a clearer timeline for Ella Toone’s comeback. The 26-year-old midfielder has been out since December due to a hip problem.

Return timeline

Head coach Marc Skinner confirmed a return is being planned for after April’s international window. The break runs from April 8 to 16.

United currently view the away game at Tottenham on April 26 as the primary target date. That plan could change if the club progresses in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

Injury and recovery

Toone suffered a hip issue first described as a bone stress response. She last played in United’s League Cup quarter final victory over Tottenham.

Skinner said the club will avoid rushing her back. She has resumed on-field training and is doing individual sessions ahead of team work.

Impact on club and country

Toone led United’s creative charts early in the season with eight assists and three goals. Her absence rules her out of the Manchester derby and United’s Champions League quarter-finals versus Bayern Munich.

She will also miss England’s World Cup qualifier against Spain. The loss is significant for both club and national team plans.

Player mindset and squad response

Toone told the Inside Carrington podcast she dislikes being sidelined and aims to return fitter. United have strengthened squad depth to cope during her recovery.

Skinner insists no unnecessary risks will be taken. The club will phase her back into team training when ready.

Search interest under Ella Toone Injury: Manchester United’s Star to Return Post-International Break rose after the coach’s update. Fans will monitor her progress as April approaches.
