Injured Dorgu
Dorgu has been sidelined since late last month when he suffered a hamstring injury during the 3-2 Premier League win over Arsenal.

The former Lecce man fired a screamer for United’s second of the game but did not finish the game as he limped off in the closing stages.
A report covered by The Peoples Person reported that Dorgu had been out of action for 10 weeks. The setback came at a particularly bad time for the Dane, who was in top form and looked set to play an important role under Michael Carrick on the left side of the attack.
Dorgu also found the back of the net in the 2-0 win against Manchester City.
The priority for Dorgu is to return to full fitness before the end of the season to claim a place at the World Cup in Denmark. Now, an update on his fitness has been provided.

Fitness update
Centredevils reveal: “Patrick Dorgu is making good progress in his recovery from injury and has been doing strength and conditioning work this week in Carrington.”
“The 21-year-old is working hard with the physiotherapists and is on track with his rehabilitation plan.”
Meanwhile, Carrick spoke to reporters on Friday and provided an update on Mason Mount and Matthijs de Ligt. Mount has been absent since United beat Fulham 3-2 on 1 February, and Carrick later confirmed that he had suffered a minor problem in training.
De Ligt has been sidelined with a back injury since November.
There was optimism that one or both players would return for the game against Everton, but Carrick informed reporters that is unlikely, pointing out that Mount is slightly ahead of De Ligt in terms of return.
