Premier League: Solskjaer provides injury update on Rashford ahead of Liverpool clash


Man Utd manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said that the club will make a late decision on the involvement of Marcus Rashford for the Premier League clash against Liverpool on Sunday.
The England international suffered a knock on his back and knee during his second-half appearance against Wolves in the FA Cup on Wednesday and he was able to last for only 17 minutes before his substitution.

Manchester United travel to face Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League this weekend and will seek to end Jurgen Klopp's Invincibles bid, but do so with Marcus Rashford having taken a knock in midweek.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given an update on Marcus Rashford's fitness ahead of their weekend clash against Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp's team is unbeaten in the Premier League this season and aiming to match Arsenal's incredible Invincibles feat during the 2003/04 season.
But up next for Klopp's side is the old rivalry against Man Utd, the only team to have taken points from them in the league this season with a 1-1 draw between the two teams at Old Trafford in October.
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring on that day, before a late equalizer from Adam Lallana. However, United's striker could be set to miss the trip to Anfield after picking up an injury.

Solskjaer press conference

Speaking in the press conference ahead of the Anfield trip Solskjaer said that Rashford is not ready for the weekend's game at the moment but he will be offered sufficient time to prove his fitness.
"I cannot tell you now. As I said with Harry Maguire a few weeks ago, of course, we are going to give him the absolute amount of time to find out.
I would probably think that he would not be ready, but let's see. There are still 48 hours, more than that so let's see," he was quoted as saying by the club's official website.
Rashford has been influential towards Manchester United picking up points against Liverpool in recent Premier League meetings and he has scored three goals in the past four appearances against Jurgen Klopp’s side.
As such his possible absence would prove a blow for the Merseyside trip and Solskjaer may have to rely on Daniel James on the left side of the attack against the Premier League leaders.

Man Utd position in Table

Man Utd is presently five points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea in the standings but they could find themselves eight points behind the final Champions League spot ahead of the late kick-off at Anfield.

As a result, they have plenty to lose from the contest this weekend and Solskjaer will be hoping that his players can step up to the challenge and register the club’s first away win against Liverpool since January 2016.
The striker was a substitute for the FA Cup third-round replay against Wolves in midweek, but with the scores level at 0-0, he was introduced by Solskjaer.
However, within a matter of minutes, he hurt his back in a challenge and had to be taken off - and Solskjaer revealed that he is not confident about the striker's fitness for Sunday.
