DBasia.news – Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ensured that Paul Pogba will not strengthen Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur in the continuation of the 15th British Premier League matchday, Thursday (5/12) AM. Pogba was declared unready to return to competition since he was absent since last September.
Pogba, who has been absent since the end of September, is still working hard behind the scenes to restore his condition and has been able to practice on the field.
Even so, the match against Spurs came too soon to win the World Cup. Ole said: “No, Paul is not ready. So, he is still unfit, he is still working hard, we will see.
“He has been training on the pitch, so let’s see how long it would take (before he returns to play).”
The problems in midfield might be reduced by the potential return of Scott McTominay and Nemanja Matic from injury. As is known, McTominay missed the last three games and Matic has been pulled over since the beginning of October.
“You know I don’t want to talk about the injuries we have, but of course when you have Scott back, when you have Paul again … we were previously lacking options in midfield as we had Scott, Nemanja and Paul were absent for some time and that affected us, “Ole continued.
“(Scott
and Matic) still needs to be assessed in terms of condition in the last
training session. We have more matches going forward than this one (against
Spurs), we cannot focus on just one party. We also have to look for a long
period of time. “
