- The Cameroonian goalkeeper believes the break has helped him recover mentally but remains uncertain about his recall for Thursday's decisive clash.
- Manager Ruben Amorim has not yet confirmed if Onana will start, as Manchester United faces a must-win situation to keep their Europa League hopes alive.
- Onana's absence followed severe criticism, including from Lyon's Nemanja Matic, and off-field challenges involving a theft targeting his wife.
- Replacement goalkeeper Altay Bayindir struggled in his Premier League debut, contributing to a 4-1 loss to Newcastle, further complicating United's goalkeeping situation.
