Mourinho unsure if Pogba will feature for United against Sevilla
Paul Pogba may not be available to feature for Manchester United during Tuesday’s Champions League tilt with Sevilla as he continues to recover from an injury, according to manager Jose Mourinho.
The French midfielder suffered an unspecified knock during the final minutes of a training session that ruled him out of Manchester United’s 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Saturday.
Although he appeared to be walking without any visible discomfort at Old Trafford after the match, Pogba was reportedly absent from United’s training session Monday, increasing concern over his availability for the round of 16 fixture.
“I don’t know,” Mourinho said, according to Sky Sports. “He’s downstairs now and I will go and speak with him.
“The injury? It was contact with a player in the last minute of the training session (on Friday). If I finished the session one minute before it wouldn’t have happened.”
Manchester United relied on Scott McTominay in Pogba’s absence against Liverpool, and could call on the Scottish international once again during Tuesday’s encounter at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils, winners of their last three Premier League games, enter the match even with the Spanish outfit following a goalless draw in the first leg.
