Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick says he fears midfielder Paul Pogba will not be available for the side’s upcoming clashes against Arsenal and Chelsea. It comes following the Red Devils’ 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool on Tuesday.
The heavy defeat has seen their chances of a top-four finish take a blow, with United currently sitting sixth in the table, three points behind Tottenham in the final Champions League qualifying place and having played a game more than Antonio Conte's side. It gives an advantage to both sides heading into the derby between Chelsea and Arsenal on Wednesday night, with at least one of the two sides set to extend their lead over them.
Pogba’s injury came early into the game, adding to the injuries of midfielders Fred and Scott McTominay, forcing playmaker Bruno Fernandes to play in a deeper role that isn’t natural to him. Discussing the injury to MUTV after the game, Rangnick said: “He [Pogba] pulled a calf muscle. I fear he will not be available for Arsenal [on Saturday] or for Chelsea [on April 28].”
