Edinson Cavani Resume Training For Man U Ahead Of Crystal Palace Game

Manchester United will travel to the Selhurst Park on Wednesday night to face Crystal Palace. Manchester United are currently second in the Premier League table but are 15 points behind the leaders in Manchester City. 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still hopeful that his team can still win the Premier League despite their points gap. 

United were held to a goalless draw against Chelsea at Stamford last weekend. The Red Devils have just picked up two wins in their last five games in the Premier League. 

Ahead of the game against Roy Hodgson side, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have given his team news stating that their striker has returned with the team. 

It's been gathered that Edinson Cavani might be available for the game against the Eagles. 

Just so you know, Cavani has not played since February 14 due to a muscular injury,  he missed their Europa League Round of 32 games against Real Sociedad and draw against Manchester United. 

He was pictured in training with the rest of his team mates at the Carrington training ground. 

Solskjaer said: "Edinson trained, he's joined in, that's good, let's hope there's no reaction after the session and hopefully he will travel with the squad."

Another player who is ruled out happens to be Paul Pogba. The French man has been out since early February with a thigh injury and he is yet to return to training with the team. It means he is definitely ruled out of the trip to Crystal Palace and could face a battle to be back before the end of March due to the international break at the end of the month.

On Pogba fitness, Solskjaer said: "Paul is still not ready for us, he's feeling better, he's not been training with the team yet, so he's definitely not travelling down to London."

Solskjaer also gave update on Juan Mata. Recall that he confirmed last week that Mata will be out for around a fortnight with an unspecified injury.

 Solskjaer said: "Juan will, unfortunately, be out for a couple of weeks."

Manchester United defender Phil Jones faces a fight to play at all this season as his recovery from a knee injury drags on.

What Solskjaer said: "With Phil, obviously we hope. He's working really hard, he's had a couple of setbacks and it's just that kind of injury you have to be patient with and give him time. I know all about these injuries. How long is a piece of rope? That's how I felt as well, when I came back. We'll give him absolutely every chance this season, if not the start of next."
