Manchester United could be without nine players when they take on Crystal Palace on Wednesday 26th, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed.
The Norwegian was speaking to the media on Teusday when he confirmed the severity of his current injury crisis. Sunday’s game with Liverpool saw the home side suffer three injuries as Juan Mata, Ander Herrera and Jesse Lingard were all taken off. Nemanja Matic, who missed the home fixture on Sunday is still ruled out with a muscle injury he picked up in training last week.
Marcus Rashford played on with an ankle injury after the three hamstring injuries suffered by his team-mates and is a doubt for the visit to Selhurst Park.
Frenchman Anthony Martial is still struggling with a groin strain that forced him off during the defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, while full-backs Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian are still ruled out with the injuries that have kept them out of action in recent weeks. Centre-back Phil Jones is suffering with illness.
However, Marcos Rojo is now fit, but Solskjaer must decide whether to risk him after a lengthy layoff.
Manchester United are 5th on the Premier League table and are in dire need of three points as they look to keep up the pace with 4th placed Arsenal who are only a point ahead of them.
