Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given an injury update ahead of Manchester United’s game against Arsenal tomorrow.
Eric Bailly was left out of the squad altogether against Sheffield United on Wednesday night.
At his pre-match press conference, which was streamed at 1:30pm today on United’s official app he was asked about the defender.
He said he expects Bailly to travel down to London, suggesting he’ll be back in his squad.
“They’re okay,”
said Solskjaer when asked about Bailly, as well as Anthony Martial. “They should both be travelling down.
“We’re still a good group all working together. Once in a while, we just hit a low like we did on Wednesday, but we’re good to go again.
“We’re still a good group all working together. Once in a while, we just hit a low like we did on Wednesday, but we’re good to go again.”
Given Axel Tuanzebe endured a difficult night on Wednesday, it’s fair to expect Bailly or Victor Lindelof to come into the side tomorrow night.
Lindelof was on the bench against the Blades and Solskjaer has generally preferred him for the bigger games this season.
That might mean Bailly has to settle for a spot on the bench, but Harry Maguire does tend to look more settled alongside the Ivorian.
For a player with Bailly’s injury record, the good news is that he doesn’t look to have picked up a serious problem and should be back in the side soon.
