Martial could miss rest of season, says Man Utd boss Solskjaer

Anthony Martial could miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed. 

The forward suffered a knee injury in France’s World Cup qualifying win over Kazakhstan last weekend.

Should he miss the rest of United’s 2020-21 campaign, it seems unlikely he would return to full fitness in time for the rescheduled Euro 2020, which kicks off on June 11. 

Speaking ahead of United’s Premier League clash with Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford on Sunday, Solskjaer said: “Unfortunately, he sprained his knee with France.

“It’s always when they go away on internationals… you can keep your fingers crossed and hope they come back fit.

“Losing Anthony for what might be the rest of the season is very disappointing, especially when reports from there [France] was that it wasn’t anything serious, but it looks a bad one.”
