The energetic midfielder has not played since our previous match in the competition, away to FCSB in January.
If available for the 17:45 GMT kick-off, it could be a timely boost as Manuel Ugarte was not spotted during the session, covered live on MUTV.
In addition to Ugarte's absence, there was no Harry Maguire in the session filmed by the cameras.
The centre-back was withdrawn during the gruelling Emirates FA Cup fifth-round tie against Fulham at Old Trafford and head coach Ruben Amorim had admitted he needed to check on his fitness in advance of the game at the Reale Arena.
