United Has 'No Idea' When Paul Pogba Will Return From Injury

Oct 30, 2017 9:32 AM

Manchester United has "no idea" when Paul Pogba is likely to return to action.

Pogba suffered a hamstring injury on Sept. 12th and has missed United's last 10 matches in all competitions. 

Jose Mourinho described the injury as a "long-term'' issue towards the end of last month.

"Again, I have no idea. Honestly," said Mourinho.

"I am not in control of his recovery process. He is not training with me. He is on individual work.

"For example, Marcos Rojo is working with me, with certain conditions, and I would expect him to be ready to play after the international break. I can predict that. But Paul, I have no idea.''

Harry Kane Ruled Out Of United Match, Doubtful Against Real Madrid

Oct 27, 2017 9:03 AM

Harry Kane has been ruled out of Saturday's match at Manchester United and is also doubtful for next week's match in the Champions League against Real Madrid.

Kane injured his hamstring last week against Liverpool.

"We can't take the risk," Mauricio Pochettino said. "The doctor and medical staff made the decision to not take the risk. There is no sense in taking that risk and making the problem bigger."

Pochettino acknowledged his disappointment at being without the prolific forward but insisted it was "only a small issue."

"The players are not machines and it is so difficult to cope with international duty and playing every three days," he added. "It is not a big problem, only a small issue, but he is not going to play [on Saturday].

"We'll see after for Wednesday against Real Madrid."

Alvaro Morata Out Six Weeks With Hamstring Injury

Oct 3, 2017 11:12 AM

Alvaro Morata is out up to six weeks with a hamstring injury.

Morata had scored six goals in seven Premier League matches for Chelsea. Morata suffered the injury 10 minutes before halftime of Chelsea's 1-0 loss to Manchester City on Saturday.

Antonio Conte suggested Morata’s withdrawal had been precautionary and an attempt to ensure he did not sustain a more serious complaint. 

Michy Batshuayi, the other recognised senior striker on the books after Diego Costa’s departure for £57 million last week, has scored five goals this season.
