Manchester United are now suffering from deep injury problems. They will have up to 10 players unable to play in against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
United interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said his team are now in trouble after Marcus Rashford become the latest Red Devils to suffer injry.
Solskjaer’s side lost three players – Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and substitute Jesse Lingard, to injury during the first half of Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Liverpool at Old Trafford,
While Marcus Rashford is a doubt for their next match after playing injured in against Liverpool. Solskjaer suggested Rashford’s injury was the result of being kicked by Liverpool’s players after the winger appeared to be hurt following an early challenge from Jordan Henderson.
“Well, the three we had to take off [Herrera, Lingard, Mata], they’re not going to be ready. As for Rashy [Marcus Rashford], we’re going to work on him for as long as we can to see if he gets ready because that wasn’t as bad as we first feared, so luckily I don’t think we damaged it any more by him finishing the game.” Solskjaer said.
“He might have a chance of playing. Then again I don’t think there’ll be anyone else coming back for this game. So there’ll be a chance for the kids.” Solskjaer added.
“Matteo [Darmian] trained the other day, I don’t think he’ll be ready yet, because he trained yesterday. Marcos [Rojo] has been training, so hopefully will be involved. The muscle injuries – it’s still early to think about them. There are quite a few players out.” Solskjaer said.

Solskjaer also confirmed defender Phil Jones and Antonio Valencia are also on the missing list.
“Phil has been ill, so he’s been out for a little while as well with an illness, but luckily at centre-back position there’s quite a few fit ones. Eric, Chris and Victor, the three of them, they’re ready.” Solskjaer said.
“Luckily at centre-back there are quite a few fit ones, Victor [Lindelof], Chris [Smalling] and Eric [Bailly], the three of them are ready.” he Norwegian added.
