Eric Bailly clashed his head against teammate Harry Maguire during the FA Cup Semi-Final with Chelsea.
Asked about Bailly, Solskjaer told MUTV straight after the game: “Hope he’ll be fine. [A] cut is open in his head and he felt a bit wounded by that.”
Speaking to the written media in his post-match press conference, the United boss added: “Yeah, he’s in hospital going through all the routine checks and protocols, he got a cut in the back of his head as well, I haven’t heard, not spoken to the doctor about it yet.
“It had a big impact on the game, Eric played well and we conceded just after the restart and that was very disappointing. Eric was a big part of us not having any chances against us, really.
“Obviously the long lay-off was a big test and we didn’t pass it, because we lost our concentration and conceded a goal before half-time, which is disappointing.”
Ole also confirmed that Maguire, whose head Bailly collided with, is absolutely fine thankfully.
“Thank you for all the messages of support,” the 26-year-old wrote on Twitter. “I am OK, it was just a scare. I feel the pain of yesterday’s defeat even more.
“But we have to get back up and refocus on the two big games we have this week.”
