BAD NEWS FOR UNITED FANS…
£89m midfielder set
to miss the next five games but Jose Mourinho hopes he can return at Anfield on
October 14
Paul Pogba is set
to be sidelined for four weeks with the hamstring injury that forced him out
of Manchester United’s Champions League return.
Pogba underwent a scan at the club’s
Aon Training Complex on Wednesday and it is understood the £89million
midfielder is facing up to a month on the sidelines.
Pogba suffered the
injury when he stretched for the ball in the 17th minute of United’s 3-0 over
Swiss visitors Basel in Tuesday's Group A opener.
He had to be substituted and later
left Old Trafford on crutches.
Pogba will undergo extensive
treatment in a bid to keep his enforced absence as brief as possible, although
United are wary of rushing his rehab.
This is the third hamstring problem
he has suffered since returning to the club from Juventus 13 months ago, and he
may be sent to a specialist to try to get to the bottom of the problem.
The 24-year-old, whose fine start to
the new season saw him chosen as United’s Player of the Month for August, will
miss Sunday’s home Premier League clash with Everton.
JOSE MOURINHO SPEAKS AFTER HIS TEAM WIN OVER FC BASEL
He would have been rested for next
Wednesday's League Cup tie at home to Championship side Burton anyway, but will
also miss United’s Champions League visit to CSKA Moscow as well as the
top-flight encounters with Southampton and Crystal Palace either side of that
tie.
But boss Jose Mourinho is hopeful he
can recover in time for the trip to face arch-rivals Liverpool in the Premier
League on October 14.
United forward Marcus Rashford
admitted Pogba’s enforced absence will be a “massive miss” for the Reds, who
top the Premier League, but insisted they have the squad to cope without him.
“That’s why you have such a strong
squad,” said Rashford. “But Paul’s going to be a massive miss and hopefully we
can get him back fit as soon as possible.”
