Manchester United gives an injury update on seven players in front of Paris Saint-Germain’s crucial encounter in this week’s Uefa Champions League.
David de Gea and Alex Telles were both constrained off with wounds in Man United’s success at Southampton.
Manchester United could be without up to six players for the Champions League visit of Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. David de Gea fell off at half-time in the 3-2 win at Southampton after he slammed into the woodwork while neglecting to forestall James Ward-Prowse from scoring and Alex Telles was additionally constrained off late on with an ‘issue’.
Paul Pogba (lower leg) and Scott McTominay could profit from preparing for Monday subsequent to missing both of a week ago’s successes over Istanbul Basaksehir and Southampton and Luke Shaw could pass up a major opportunity again with a hamstring strain. Anthony Martial went with the United crew yet became sick for the time being and remained at the group lodging on Sunday instead of venturing out to the arena.
Solskjaer said: “It’s a knock just above the knee, So we’ll have a scan and check on him tomorrow. Hopefully, he can be ready for Wednesday but can’t promise anything now. Anthony had to stay in the hotel, he got ill overnight and he is down here still. Paul and Scott hopefully can start training with us tomorrow, Luke is out still, we’re not 100% sure. Jesse Lingard’s back. Phil Jones is out. David: I don’t know how he’ll react to his knock and bang. Alex had an issue towards the end but hopefully won’t be too bad.”
Surprisingly, United have not lost a Premier League away game since January 18 at Liverpool and have won their last eight, with their four victories this season recorded from losing positions.
Manchester United will rely on a win against PSG as they know that a win can assure their entry into the top 16 round of UCL. United have already won 3 out of their 4 UCL group matches and are heavy favourites to proceed. PSG will be a tough opponent but United has always stood out strong against them, even in last years’ UCL.
A strong first team is needed and Solksjaer will present the team news in front of the press on Tuesday ahead of the crucial tie.
Stay tuned.
