Solskjaer Confirms Martial & Pogba to Miss Leicester Clash
Manchester United will be without Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial for their home date with Leicester, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed.
The Red Devils have seen two French stars pick up untimely knocks .
Martial sat out United's 1-1 draw with Southampton two weeks ago after tweaking his thigh, while Pogba was unable to link up with his country during the international break after damaging his ankle.
That means neither will be able to figure against the Foxes when Premier League action resumes on Saturday.
Red Devils boss Solskjaer told reporters at his pre-match press conference when asked for an update on his walking wounded: "Well the treatment room's been busy.
"And it still is. So we don't really know who's going to be available. There's maybe Aaron, maybe Jesse and I think maybe that's it from the ones that pulled out [from national squads], but I can't promise those two will be available either.
"Pogba won't be fit, no. Unless he's had a miraculous recovery overnight from yesterday to today or tonight to tomorrow, he's not been ready to do 100 per cent training, no.
"We hope more can be ready for West Ham next week and Paul and Anthony are in that category. I think they'll be ready for then and can't say more than that really."
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has ruled N'Golo Kante out of his side's upcoming clashes with Wolves and Valencia.
Chelsea visit Wolves on Saturday in their Premier League encounter before welcoming Spanish outfit Valencia to Stamford Bridge on Tuedsay in their opening Champions League game of the season.
The French midfielder has featured in just two league matches for Lampard's side this season, having struggled with an ankle injury since the 1-1 draw with former club Leicester City last month.
And while Lampard says the France international is close to a return to action, he admitted that the next two games will come too soon for Kante as he is still "a week or so" away from full fitness.
"N’Golo is not fit," the former Chelsea and England star told reporters ahead of the trip to Molineaux Stadium. "He still has issues with his ankle. The medical team are working with him.
"He is in a transition period and we are trying to get him on the pitch. He is doing some physical work but this game comes too soon for him."
