Burnley vs Man Utd: Solskjaer facing injury problems ahead of EPL clash
Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has admitted Paul Pogba, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw could miss Tuesday’s game at Burnley.
However, Solskjaer is optimistic the trio will be fit to face Liverpool on Sunday
Pogba, Shaw and Lindelof were all missing when United beat Watford 1-0 at Old Trafford in the FA Cup third round on Saturday.
Solskjaer has now cast doubt on their fitness ahead of a crucial week for his side in the Premier League.
United will go top of the table if they avoid defeat against Burnley on Tuesday, ahead of a much anticipated trip to current leaders and bitter rivals Liverpool at Anfield.
“I hope so, I hope all of them for Liverpool, definitely,” Solskjaer said.
“I’m not sure if they’ll make the Burnley one.
“But light training (on Sunday) then we’ll have to see on Monday.”
There are also concerns over Eric Bailly, who was forced off just before half-time against Watford with a head injury.
