Solskjaer Faces Injury Worries As Pogba, Martial, Shaw Out Of Leicester City Clash

Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could face a difficult weekend in the Premier League against Leicester City after it was confirmed that the trio of Paul Pogba, Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial have been ruled out of the encounter at Old Trafford.

Pogba twisted his ankle in the 1-1 draw at Southampton two weeks ago and did not play for France in their two matches during the international break, with the midfielder expected to return for the match at West Ham on 22 September.

Shaw (hamstring) and Martial (thigh) have still not recovered from the injuries sustained in the 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on 24 August, while Dalot (hip) and Bailly (knee) are longer-term injuries.

“The treatment room has been busy and it still is,” said Solskjaer. “We don’t really know who is going to be available.

“Maybe Aaron and Jesse will make it but that is it from the ones that pulled out.

“Paul will not be fit, not unless he has a miraculous recovery. He has not been ready to do training at 100%.”

United are looking for their first win since the opening day of the season with draws at Wolves and Southampton either side of the Palace defeat leaving them down in eighth, three points adrift of Leicester in third.
