Victor Lindelof injury update | Manchester United

Replacing Lindelof was a precaution and he is likely to be in contention again when the Reds play Aston Villa on Thursday in our next Premier League match.

Solskjaer has been able to name an unchanged side in United’s last three league games since the restart against Sheffield United, Brighton and Bournemouth, which has seen the Reds win all of them emphatically.

However, Ole would have no qualms about pitching Bailly into the action.

“Victor felt his back,” the manager told MUTV. “So there was no need to take any risks, but Eric’s fine. He’s got his game, 45 minutes, played against Norwich, played against West Brom [in a friendly at Old Trafford before the Premier League’s resumption], so he’ll be fine playing.”
