Solskjaer gives injury update ahead of Manchester derby

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given an injury update on the squad ahead of Saturday’s Premier League game against Manchester City.

On Victor Lindelof, Solskjaer said: “He’s still a doubt, but hopefully, he can come back in tomorrow and say he’s ready.

“I would expect him to be ready, put it that way but I can’t promise you.”

Solskjaer also confirmed that French defender Raphael Varane will miss about four to five weeks of football action.

He added: “With all the technology now you expect him to be out for four or five weeks with the scans. It’s a blow for us.

“Raphael has come in and been really really influential.

“Eric [Bailly] came in last time and was excellent. That’s why we have a big squad and cope with absentees.”
