Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal says their clash with Stoke City has come too soon for Angel di Maria.
Di Maria suffered a setback in training just before Christmas but van Gaal told reporters on Tuesday that he is making positive steps forward.
"He's coming back," revealed the manager. "I think he shall train with us this week."
When asked to confirm whether the injury was a serious one, van Gaal replied: "No, I have said that already."
