Solskjaer confirms Martial and Lingard will be out for two to three weeks

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirms that the attacking duo of Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial will be out for the next two to three weeks.

Both players got injured while playing against Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie at Old Trafford.

Martial was appeared to be injured before Lingard, and by half-time, Solskjaer had no choice but to replace both of them by Alexis Sanchez and Juan Mata.

Speaking in the press conference ahead of United’s FA Cup tie against Chelsea, the Norwegian said: “I think they will be out for two to three weeks looking at it now.

“It is a chance for anyone who plays, whether it is Alexis, Romelu or Angel (Gomes).

“Anthony and Jesse have done really well for us, they are vital in the attacking parts with their pace.

“Romelu and Alexis have different skill sets, so we just need to gel a team together for Monday now.”

If the time-frame is taken into account, then the attacking duo could miss the games against Chelsea (A, FA Cup), Liverpool (H, league), Crystal Palace (A, league), Southampton (H, league) and PSG (A, UCL).
