Manchester United have confirmed that their manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, will be without three players when they host LASK in the Europa League round of 16 second-leg fixture at Old Trafford on Wednesday night due to injury.
The players are Luke Shaw, Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jones. Man United defeated LASK 5-0 in the first-leg encounter in Linz on March 12 before the COVID-19 lockdown break. Juan Mata, Daniel James, Andreas Pereira and Odion Ighalo all scored in Austria against LASK.
Solskjaer’s side head to the game after a 2-0 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League final day fixture last week.
“Eric Bailly started the first leg and is available after overcoming the head injury he sustained against Chelsea in the Emirates FA Cup semi-final, but Luke Shaw, Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jones are expected to remain on the sidelines,” Man United said in a post via its official website on Monday.
Anthony Martial and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were not pictured with the rest of the squad, as Manchester United players flew out on Wednesday afternoon, ahead of their Europa League last-16 clash with LASK.
Martial did not train at Carrington during the open session and is a doubt for the game in Austria. However, Odion Ighalo made the trip and is very likely to start for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men.
Jesse Lingard and Diogo Dalot were also not spotted as part of the travelling squad. Tahith Chong has made the trip to Austria along with fellow youngsters Mason Greenwood, Brandon Williams and Angel Gomes. United go into the game unbeaten in their last 10 fixtures in all competitions.
Confirmed United squad members to face LASK: De Gea, Romero, Bishop, Williams, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Tuanzebe, Bailly, Gomes, Pereira, Matic, McTominay, Fernandes, Fred, Mata, Greenwood, James, Chong, Ighalo.
