Manchester United captain Harry Maguire missed his third successive Premier League game last night.
It’s highly unlikely he features against Wolves at the weekend either.
Maguire was pictured on crutches and in a walking boot at Old Trafford as the team took on Fulham.
Maguire has not given up on the prospect of facing Villarreal in the Europa League next Wednesday.
He is dealing with an ankle ligament injury and he sent a message to fans explaining he is doing everything he can to get fit.
How did United fare without Maguire?
This was another match where United failed to keep a clean sheet, and had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Axel Tuanzebe did not play terribly but he was not totally reassuring either.
It did not help that defensive partner Victor Lindelof had a game with some poor moments, including allowing a one on one in the first half where David de Gea bailed him out.
If not for De Gea’s excellent goalkeeping, United may even have lost the game.
It’s pretty obvious United need Maguire back for the final, but whether he can make it, is another issue.
Solskjaer told Sky Sports: “Harry [Maguire] we are working on [but] doesn’t look great.”
United have one more match left in the league this season, against Wolves, and it will be the last chance for his understudies to make a case, in the even he is not passed fit to start in Gdansk.
