Man Utd suffer double injury blow ahead of Europa League clash at Partizan Bel
Paul Pogba and David De Gea were among the players missing as Manchester
United trained on Wednesday morning ahead of their Europa League clash against Partizan Belgrade.
The Red Devils head into the European showdown in Serbia on the back of a hard- fought 1-1 draw against Premier League title-chasers Liverpool on Sunday.
Indeed, it was an impressive showing from a Red Devils side who have endured
their worst start to a Premier League season for 30 years. And, despite their injury concerns, they looked to be full of confidence as under- fire boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer put his team through their paces at their
Carrington training base. Jesse Lingard trained with United's players as he looks to make a return from injury while youngsters Ethan Laird, Brandon Williams and James Garner were all involved. But it will no doubt be a blow to Solskjaer after Pogba missed the session. The midfielder remains sidelined by a foot problem, having spent time in Dubai during the international break to try to regain fitness. There was also no sign of De Dea after the goalkeeper made a surprise start in the draw with Liverpool. De Gea suffered an injury scare while on international duty with Spain earlier this month, appearing to hurt his hamstring in a Euro 2020 qualifier in Sweden, but was able to play in Sunday's 1-1 draw. But it appears the Spanish stopper will be rested for the European clash and was therefore not required to take part in the session on Wednesday. There was also no sign of Luke Shaw or Nemanja Matic, along with injured
defenders Axel Tuanzebe, Diogo Dalot, Eric Bailly and Timothy Fosu-Mensah.
Solskjaer is yet to confirm his travelling squad for the clash.
Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, is hoping to see more of a swagger and cutting
edge from United - after his first-half strike was cancelled out by Adam Lallana's
late equaliser for Liverpool.
