# Dorgu takes new step in road to recovery
**Manchester United winger Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu has taken a new step on his road to recovery.**
The Dane has been out of action since sustaining an injury in our 3-2 away win over Premier League leaders Arsenal back in January, where he rocketed an effort off the underside of the bar to make it 2-1 in the 50th minute.
His setback came at the end of a productive month for the 21-year-old, having netted a Goal of the Month winner against Newcastle United on Boxing Day, and also provided one of our two goals against crosstown rivals Manchester City.
It meant the injury came at a frustrating time for the Denmark international, but shows just how much there is to come from the exciting young talent.
He has since been working hard at Carrington with our medical staff, and we provided an update on his progress last month, as he works through a strength and conditioning programme to aid his recovery.
**We can now reveal that Dorgu has progressed to working on the pitches on an individual basis at our training base, as seen on the footage above, as the next phase of his rehabilitation.**
When you’ve watched that video, be sure to check out our exclusive images of that process below.
**There is still no timeline on his return to first-team action, but he continues to work on his recovery with the current aim of being back with the squad before the end of the season.**
United currently stand third in the Premier League table, with seven games of the top-flight season left to play.

(PS. The previous update was he was working on strength & conditioning, at Gym)

Manchester United confirm defender Patrick Dorgu is back doing individual training on grass. **He should be back in action before the end of the season and could even make his return later this month**

Thankfully they added his middle name, otherwise I wouldn’t have been sure which Patrick Dorgu they are talking about
Can they use his middle name on his shirt next season? I always get confused which Patrick Dorgu is on the pitch
