Dalot ecstatic for Man Utd teammate Malacia as he makes a successful fitness comeback

Malacia has been away for almost two years due to a persistent knee injury that necessitated two surgeries.

“It was really tough to see him and the struggle that he’s been through," Dalot told Saturday's edition of United Review.

"You can’t imagine how difficult it would be to not be able to do what you love, your job, for such a long time. 

“That’s why we celebrated when he came on training with us, even if it was just for the little boxes… to make sure that he feels we are ready to welcome him and to keep helping him, because he’s going to need it.

"At the end of the day, it was a really long time since he got an injury. We’re really pleased to have him. The team needs him and the club needs him, so we are really happy.”
