FA Cup: Cavani, Pogba and Martial fitness update ahead of Leicester Vs Man U

Manchester United will turn to the quarter final FA Cup clash this weekend when they face Leicester City.

United return to England following their victory against AC Milan in the round of 16 in Europa League. 

Paul Pogba scored the only goal of the game at the San Siro stadium, as Red Devils qualify for the quarter-final with a 2-1 aggregate win.

Following the draws which went down today in Nyon, Switzerland, Manchester United will travel to Spain to face Europa League debutant Granada. 

Ahead of the FA Cup game against Leicester, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given his team news. 

The manager hinted at the return to Edinson Cavani who missed the AC Milan game. While Paul Pogba came off the bench to score the only goal after he replaced Marcus Rashford who was replaced due to precautions. 

Pogba has been injured since February and he just came back into the team. 

On Pogba fitness, Solskjaer said: “We’ll have to see how much he can play. I’m not sure if he can play 90 minutes or if he can start, but you see the impact he can make if he comes on as a sub.

“If he feels okay, maybe we can start him as well. We have to see who the runners and riders are after tonight. It’s a long travel, we’ll be late back, so we’ll see. I hope he’s ready to start.”

Meanwhile, Edinson Cavani pull out of the squad that travelled to Milan after suffering a slight setback during training. 

On Cavani's fitness, Solskjaer revealed: “We haven’t really got to the bottom of it with Edinson. He’s worked really hard and is joining training sessions and towards the end of training sessions when he needs to chop it up and feel 100 per cent ready for the game and he hasn't really gotten there yet. 

“So, it's down to him. He wants to be 100 per cent when he joins in. He doesn’t want to come in and look off the pace, so hopefully he can be ready for Sunday but I'm not sure either, because after the training yesterday he felt something that he couldn’t travel with us.”

Antony Martial also missed the game against the Rossoneri due to slight injury but Solskjaer hopes that the French forward is available for selection against Leicester at the King Power Stadium. 

It's also been confirmed that goalkeeper, David De Gea and midfielder Donny van de Beek are back with the team.

Meanwhile, Phil Jones and Juan Mata remain out though injury as they remain long time absentees.
