Manchester United’s interim manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has admitted he does not expect their injury issues to clear in time, for their Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
Solskjaer is set to be without 10 senior players in Paris on Wednesday, as United look to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg.
Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial, Phil Jones, Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia all missed the win over Southampton on Saturday.
Alexis Sanchez limped off during the 3-2 victory at Old Trafford with suspected knee ligament damage, while Paul Pogba is suspended.
Asked whether he would be able to welcome players back into his squad ahead of the trip to France, Solskjaer told ESPN: “Not really, no. It doesn’t look like it.
“I don’t think we can risk [Martial]. He has not been training yet so I don’t think so.”
