Marcus Rashford has said he feels "10 times better" as he continues to recover from a back injury that has kept him out since January.
The Manchester United forward picked up the injury in their FA Cup success over Wolves at the start of the year.
Rashford leads the goalscoring charts at Old Trafford but his productivity in front of goal hasn't been missed too much.
United have embarked on an 11 match unbeaten run, but the 22-year-old's return will certainly be welcome.
"I feel much better," Rashford told Sky Sports. "I have a scan in another couple of days and that should solidify it, but I feel much better compared to two or three weeks ago.
"I feel 10 times better now. For me, now it's just about getting ready to build up back up to training and then playing games for the team.
"I'm in a much better place. I'm much happier than I was about a month ago so things are looking positive."
Rashford's rehab has been hampered by the coronavirus pandemic which has seen sport come to a halt.
It means even training sessions have been prohibited leaving the striker to continue putting himself through his paces at home.
Although he admits his day-to-day activity hasn't changed too much given his time on the sidelines.
"Everyone is just dealing with the circumstances as well as they can," the forward added.
"I've just been in my house doing my gym work and recovery, reading books, watching Netflix and just doing what I can do to make the time pass further.
"There's not really anything you can do that comes close to being in the changing room and being in the team, so I'm not trying to chase that high.
"I had to have time off anyway because of my injury but I'm fortunate enough to have a bike in the gym downstairs. Not much in that sense has actually changed for me because I can still do my daily routine that I was doing."
