Paul Pogba will be out of football for “a few matches,” Jose Mourinho has said but the Manchester United manager has admitted he still does not know the severity of the midfielder’s problem.
He said: “I just know that it’s a muscular injury, he’s out for the weekend match, that’s the only match I’m thinking about, I don’t think any further than that. He’s not playing this weekend. I just know it’s a hamstring problem.
“Squads are to try to cope with these kind of situations and we know that in a few situations, I don’t know how many, but we are going to play without Pogba for a few matches but we have other players.”
“We have players and we have players waiting for an opportunity because we start the season really well with one match per week, no need for resting, changes, we were going with the same players but there are good players more than ready to play so honestly we miss Pogba, we need Pogba but we have good players.
“[Ander] Herrera, [Marouane] Fellaini, Michael Carrick are waiting for a real chance to start the matches and they are ready so this is also our way of thinking.
“We lost important players last season during crucial moments of the season and we were not crying or getting excuses about that.”
