Manchester United duo Jesse Lingard and Eric Bailly set to miss Saturday’s Premier League clash against Chelsea at Old Trafford. Team boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has provided a update on the squad ahead of Big Match.
New striker Edinson Cavani is in contention to make his United debut at Old Trafford against Chelsea after training hard all week. Anthony Martial is still suspended for domestic matches, after his straight red card against Tottenham.
Captain Harry Maguire and youngster Mason Greenwood will be given every chance to prove fitness after missing out the midweek trip to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
In exclusive interview with MUTV’s Stewart Gardner, Ole confirmed that there is no new injuries to report:
“No, there is nothing that we’ve struggled with after the game. Of course, there’s tiredness of the travel and little aches and pains but I think everyone should be ready for the weekend.
“We’re still hoping Mason and Harry can be available in the squad. Of course, we have a training session today [Friday], so they’re going to have to go through that. Eric won’t be available. Jesse won’t be available so we’ll manage without them for a few weeks I think.”
Ole on Cavani availability for Chelsea Game :
“He might be ready for the squad as well for this weekend. He’s been training hard and been training well. I think he’ll be available for the weekend.”
