The defender has been training with the first team for over six weeks and is part of Mourinho’s 18-man squad for tonight’s Champions League clash against Benfica.
However, Mourinho says he’s not ready to play and instead gave him a target of United’s clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on November 5th.
‘Rojo is not coming to play but he is coming with the team to train with the group,’ said Mourinho.
‘I would say probably in two weeks Marcos is ready to play.’
