Pogba out 'a few weeks' as foot injury flares up

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba is set to be sidelined "for a few weeks" after a recurrence of an foot injury, according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Frenchman missed the Premier League clash with Arsenal on Wednesday after complaining of what Solskjaer described as "discomfort" in his ankle.

He is also set to miss the Carabao Cup semifinal first leg with Manchester City at Old Trafford on Jan. 7 and will be a doubt for the trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on Jan. 19.

"He's injured," Solskjaer told MUTV. "He's feeling some discomfort in his ankle and he'll be out for a few weeks."

Pogba has been plagued this season with the foot injury. He didn't play between Sept. 30 and Dec. 22 and has only made two substitute appearances since then.

Solskjaer said following the the 2-0 win over Burnley on Saturday that he expected Pogba to be available at the Emirates for United's New Years' Day game but he was absent from the squad which travelled to London on Tuesday.

Following the victory at Turf Moor, the players were granted a day off on Sunday and Pogba used his to travel to France to attend a charity match. He returned to Carrington on Monday but was not able to take part in training.

Pogba's absence is a further blow for Solskjaer after Scott McTominay was ruled out for more than a month with knee ligament damage. The Scotland international has been on crutches since suffering the injury against Newcastle on Boxing Day.
